We study differential operators of order 2 and establish new energy estimates which ensure that the micro supports of solutions to the Cauchy problem propagate with finite speed. We then study the Cauchy problem for non-effectively hyperbolic operators with no null bicharacteristic tangent to the doubly characteristic set and with zero positive trace. By checking the energy estimates, we ensure the propagation with finite speed of the micro supports of solutions, and we prove that the Cauchy problem for such non-effectively hyperbolic operators is C∞ well-posed if and only if the Levi condition holds.

In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem for a hyperbolic system with characteristics of variable multiplicity and construct a certain solution whose wave front set propagates precisely along the so-called “broken null bicharacteristic flow”, in other words, along the admissible trajectory if we use the terminology of [6].
