A result on a singular Cauchy problem with a radial point revisited using microdifferential calculus (Q2414656)

The author applies the theory of microdifferential operators to prove the local existence of ramified analytic solutions in \(\mathbb{C}^2\) of the following partial differential equation with radial point: \[L\phi(D^2_t-(x_ bt)^2 D^2_x- a(t,x)D_at- c(t,x)D_x- d(t,x))\phi=0.\tag{1}\] Cauchy data are (up to holomorphic factors) of the type \(x^\alpha\), \(\alpha\not\in\mathbb{Z}\), \(c(0,x)= c=\text{const}\), \(b=\text{const}\). Ramifications exist along the union of two characteristic curves \(K\), \(0\in K\). It is proved that under several assumptions on \(\alpha\), \(b\ne 0\), \(c\) for every \(\beta\in\mathbb{N}_0\) there exists a sufficiently small neighbourhood of \(0\): \(\omega(\beta)\), where the Cauchy problem for (1) has a holomorphic solution on any compact subset of \(\omega-K\) that wraps around \(K\) at most \(\beta\) times. The solutions are representable as infinite series involving Gauss hypergeometric function \(_2F_1\). The above result is a modification of a result by \textit{J. Urabe} [J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 39, No. 1, 1--24 (1999; Zbl 0932.35006)]. The differences are discussed in Section 8.
