In order to study the propagation of singularities for solutions to second order quasilinear strictly hyperbolic equations with boundary, we have to consider the regularity of solutions of first order nonlinear equations satisfied by a characteristic hyper-surface. In this paper, we study the regularity compositions of the form v(${\varphi}$(x), x) with v and ${\varphi}$ assumed to have limited Sobolev regularities and we use it to prove the regularity of solutions of the first order nonlinear equations.

We show the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Cauchy problem for nonlinear evolution equations with the strong damping: ${\upsilon}"(t)-M(｜{\nablauu}(t)｜^2){\triangle}u(t)-{\delta}{\triangle}u'(t)=f(t)$. As an application, a Kirchhoff model with viscosity is given.
