Remarks on hyperbolic polynomials (Q1088053): Difference between revisions

The roots of symbols of hyperbolic partial differential equations are studied. As an example we state here one of several results proved in the paper. Let \(p(t,x,y)=t^ m+\sum^{m}_{j=1}a_ j(x,y)t^{m-j}\) be a polynomial in t with p(t,x,y)\(\neq 0\) if Im \(t\neq 0\), and with \[ | \partial_ x^{\alpha}a_ j(x,y)-\partial_ x^{\alpha}a_ j(x',y)| \leq C| x-x'|^{\delta}\;if\;| \alpha | =k. \] 0\(<\delta \leq 1\) is a suitable number. Then the roots \(\lambda_ 1(x,y),...,\lambda_ m(x,y)\) of the polynomial satisfy \[ | \lambda_ j(x,y)-\lambda_ j(x',y)| \leq C| x-x'|^ r, \] where \(r=\min (1,(k+\delta)/m)\), provided that x,x'\(\in U\subset \subset X\).
