3. The presence of an elliptic regi<strong>on</strong> can exert a regularizing effect<strong>on</strong> the hyperbolic regi<strong>on</strong> (e.g., elliptic–hyperbolic models ofcaustics in which boundary data can be prescribed in the ellipticregi<strong>on</strong>, which surrounds the hyperbolic regi<strong>on</strong>), making theanalogy to n<strong>on</strong>linear hyperbolic pde less apt.4. Few experts in n<strong>on</strong>linear waves would prefer not to have a goodlinear theory of hyperbolic equati<strong>on</strong>s.5. An understanding of the linear theory is necessary in order tosolve n<strong>on</strong>linear partial differential equati<strong>on</strong>s locally byimplicit-functi<strong>on</strong> methods:
