Abstract
This lecture was intended as an introduction to some of the recent progress in characterizing those linear partial differential operators which are hyperbolic in the sense that the Cauchy problem is locally well-posed in distributions or in C∞. Only single differential operators are considered, the same problems for determined systems are less well understood.
