The authors consider initial-boundary value problems for hyperbolic systems and equations in domains with singularities on their boundaries. They begin with the study of the initial-boundary value problem for the wave equation in \(\mathbb{R}^2_+\) assuming that the Lopatinsky condition is fulfilled on the boundaries \(x=0\), \(y=0\). In the first chapter, the authors study the above problem with the help of energy integrals provided that the behavior of a solution to the problem as \(r=(x^2+y^2)^{1/2} \rightarrow \infty\) is known. They obtain an a priori estimate of a solution in the norm of the space \(W^1_2(\mathbb{R}^2_+)\). In the second chapter, they consider the problem without a priori information on the asymptotical behavior. With the methods which are traditional for the works by \textit{A.~M.~Blokhin} [see, for example, ``Strong discontinuities in magnetohydrodynamics'', Nova Science Publishers, Inc., Commack, NY (1994; Zbl 0920.76001)], the authors obtain an integral identity for a solution to an extended system. They continue the study in the third chapter and construct the Hadamard ill-posedness examples for different cases (the case of real and complex coefficients, high-order-dimensional cases). In the fourth chapter, the authors discuss the initial-boundary value problem for the wave equation in a coordinate corner, existence of an exact solution, and solvability conditions. The multidimensional wave equation is studied in the fifth chapter.
