The authors analyze waves which are nondispersive as their wavelength tends to zero. It is shown that small amplitude, short waves are described asymptotically by the quasilinear Klein-Gordon equation \[ (u_t+ uu_x)_x- u=0. \] This is a canonical equation for the combined effects of weak quadratic nonlinearity and short wave dispersion. The travelling wave solutions of the above equation are described. Only the bounded travelling waves are periodic. Among waves with given phase velocity, there is a wave of maximum amplitude. It is also studied the dispersion relation for short waves modelled by first-order systems of hyperbolic partial differential equations. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0899.00042].
