The propagation of singularities for linear wave equations, that is, the relation between the singularities of the initial data and the singularities of the solution, has received detailed examination and is well understood; see for example 141,[61, or 1121. In this paper we prove a propagation of singularities theorem for non-linear wave equations in one space dimension. The result is that, as expected, singularities propagate along the boundary of the light cone but not into the interior. This is true locally, and if the solution is global, then it is also true globally. The proofs are completely elementary and depend to a certain extent on the special nature of the wave operator in two dimensions.
