    THEOREM 4. Suppose the initial function uo can be representedby a series in solutions of co-associated differential equations~,u = O. Suppose the constants Cv occuring in the interior estimate15) of the solutions of those differential equations are uniformlybounded. Then the initial value problem is solvable in a conicaldomain of type 13) for which the quantity 0 characterizing itsheight can be estimated by
