Life-span of Classical Solutions to Nonlinear Wave Equations in Two-space-dimensions II

In two-space-dimensional case we get the sharp lower bound of the life-span of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem with small initial data for fully nonlinear wave equations of the form ◻u = F (u, Du, D_zDu) in which F(\hat{λ}) = O(|\hat{λ}|^{1+α}) with α = 2 in a neighbourhood of \hat{λ} = 0. The cases α = 1 and α ≥ 3 have been considered respectively in 1] and 2].
