Synopsis

In this paper, the existence of global smooth solutions and the formation of singularities of solutions for strictly hyperbolic systems with general eigenvalues are discussed for the Cauchy problem with essentially periodic small initial data or nonperiodic initial data. A result of Klainerman and Majda is thus extended to the general case.
