In this paper the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the following initial boundary value problem for non-linear symmetric hyperbolic equations of the first order \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\bf{E}}\left({t,{\bf{x}},{\bf{u}}} \right){\bf{u}}_t + {\bf{A}}_i \left({t,{\bf{x}},{\bf{u}}} \right){\bf{u}}_{x_i } + {\bf{B}}\left({t,{\bf{x}},{\bf{u}}} \right){\bf{u}} = {\bf{F}}\left({t,{\bf{x}}} \right), $$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\bf{u}}|_{t = 0} = {\bf{u}}_0 \left({\bf{x}} \right), $$\end{document} \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\bf{M}}\left({t,{\bf{x}},{\bf{u}}} \right){\bf{u}}|_{\partial \Omega } = {\bf{g}}\left({{\bf{x}}\prime,t} \right), $$\end{document} are shown, where M = I+ -S, has the same from as the Kreiss' condition, but S must be sufficiently small (I+ is the unit matrix in the space generated by eigenvectors of the matrix - A·n̄, corresponding to positive eigenvalues) and n̄ is a unit outward vector normal to the boundary. The main result of the paper is obtaining an a priori estimate for non-linear equations. This estimate is obtained for sufficiently small time and norms of given data functions. The existence of solutions is proved by the method of successive approximations, which can be used because at each step such properties as symmetry of matrices and the numbers of positive and negative eigenvalues of the matrix - A·n̄ are assured. This can be done because we restrict our attention to such systems of equations for which these properties are satisfied for solutions from some neighbourhood of initial data u0. Therefore, using the fact that solutions in the class of continuous functions are sought, these properties can be satisfied for sufficiently small time. Moreover, some examples of initial boundary value problems for equations of hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics are considered.
