Preface

The present volume is a collection of papers with a strong focus on the study of nonlinear hyperbolic systems, and it addresses general theoretical issues such as symmetrizability, singularities, low regularity and dispersive perturbations. The past decade has been marked by important breakthroughs in the study of physical phenomena where the theory of hyperbolic systems plays a central role. We refer in particular to results in nonlinear optics, shock
