Abstract. Let O. C Rm+1 be a neighborhood of the origin and assume u £ C2(Q) is a solution of the nonlinear PDE u, = f(x, t, u, ux), where f(x, í, Co > C) is C°° in the variables (x, t) £ Rm x R and holomorphic in the variables (Co, 0 £ C x Cm . We present a proof thatwhere WF(u) denotes the C°° wave-front set of u and char(L") is the characteristic set of the linearized operator
