The solution of the Cauchy problem for a hyperbolic partial differential equation leads to a linear combination of operators Tt of the form

For example, the solution of the initial value problem

is given by u(x, t) = Ttf(x) where

Peral proved in [11] that Tt is bounded from LP(Rn) to LP(Rn) if and only if

From the homogeneity, the operator norm satisfies ‖Tt‖ ≦ Ct for all t > 0.
