On weak solutions of semilinear hyperbolic-parabolic equations (Q1922854)

The author considers a mixed problem for the semilinear hyperbolic-parabolic equation \[ (K_1(x,t)u')'+ K_2(x,t)u'+A(t)u+F(u)= f, \] where \(K_1\geq 0\), \(A(t)\) is an elliptic operator of the second order, and \(F(u)\) is a continuous function. Using the theorem of W. Strauss on a weak convergence, he proves the existence of weak solutions. Examples of \(F(u)\) are given when the solution obtained is unique.
