Abstract:
We study the lifespan of solutions to fully nonlinear second-order Cauchy problems with small real- or complex-analytic data. In each case, the nonlinear term is analytic in (the complex conjugates of) the derivatives of the unknown function. This is an improvement of our previous result.

Keywords: Nonlinear wave equations, analytic functions.
