No label defined (Q3980348)

We investigate the question of uniqueness of a solution of the Cauchy problem in a domain \(\Omega\) of the variables \((x,y)\), supported on the plane \(x_ 1=0\), for the differential inequality \[ |{\mathcal L}u|\equiv| c^{-2}\Delta_ y u-L_ x u|\leq K(| u|+|\nabla_{x,y} u|)\tag{1} \] with data (2) \(u(0,'x,y)=u_ 0('x,y)\), \(u_{x_ 1}(0,'x,y)=u_ 1('x,y)\), where \(\Delta_ y\) is the Laplacian in \(y\in R^ m\), \[ L_ x=\sum_{i,j=1}^ n a_{ij}(x,y)\partial^ 2/\partial x_ i\partial x_ j, \] for any \(y\in\overline{\Omega}_ y\), \(L_ x\) is uniformly elliptic in \(\Omega_ x\), \(\Omega_ x\) \((\Omega_ y)\) is the orthogonal projection of the domain \(\Omega\) onto the space \(R^ n\) (\(R^ m\)), \('x=(x_ 2,\dots,x_ n)\), \(n\geq 2\), and \(m\geq 1\). It is known that problem (1), (2) is strongly ill-posed.
