Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the formation of singularities of the classical solution to the Cauchy problem of quasi-linear hyperbolic system and give a sharp limit formula for the lifespan of the classical solution. It is important that we only require that the initial data are sufficiently small in the $L^1$ sense and the BV sense.
