%0 Journal Article %T The global existence theorem for quasi-linear wave equations with multiple speeds, II %A Kunio Hidano %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X The Cauchy problem is studied for systems of quasi-linear wave equations with multiple speeds in two space dimensions. Using the method of Klainerman and Sideris together with the localized energy estimate, we give an alternative proof of a beautiful result of Hoshiga and Kubo. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.6523v1
