Synopsis

For the Cauchy problem for strictly hyperbolic systems with general eigenvalues, we obtain existence of global smooth solutions under certain conditions on the composition of the eigenvalues and the initial data; on the other hand, we give a sufficient condition which guarantees that singularities of the solution must occur in a finite time and describe certain applications. The present paper includes the corresponding results in earlier papers by several authors as special cases.
