Abstract
We first define a kind of new function space, called the space of twice conormal distributions. With some estimates on these function spaces, we can prove that if there exist two characteristic hypersurfaces bearing strong and weak singularities respectively intersect transversally, then some new singularities will take place and their strength will be no more than the original weak one.
