[For the entire collection see Zbl 0869.00011.] The author considers an initial value problem in a half-plane and an initial-boundary value problem in a cylinder for the system \[ \frac{ \partial^2 U}{\partial t^2} =- \triangle U + \lambda \text{\;grad\;} \text{div\;} U, \quad \lambda>1, \] which is a nonclassical analog of the well-known system by A. V. Bitsadze generalized for the space \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\) with respect to a vector-function \(U(t, x_1, \dots, x_n)=(u_1, \dots, u_n)\). The main results are as follows: Theorem 1. The initial value problem has a unique generalized solution that continuously depends on the initial data in the topology of the space of generalized functions \({\mathcal H}(\mathbb{R}^n)\). Theorem 2. The initial-boundary value problem has a unique regular solution in \(C^{\infty}\) if the initial and boundary data are in \(C^{\infty}\) on the corresponding domains. The paper also contains some interesting comments on the well-posedness for the case in which the system has a multiplier \(\rho\), a real constant, at \(\partial^2 U/\partial t^2\).
