It is known that the Cauchy problem for the linear complex system \[ u'- A(t,z,D)u= h(t,z),\quad u(t_0, z)= \phi(z) \] has a local solution in \(t\) if \(A(t, z,D)= (A_{ij}(t,z,D))_{N\times N}\), \(A_{ij}(t, z,D)= \sum_\alpha a^\alpha_{ij}(t, z)D^\alpha\) satisfies the Kowalevski conditions \(\text{ord }A_{ij}\leq 1\) or the more general Leray-Volevich conditions \(\text{ord }A_{ij}\leq m_i- m_j+ 1\), where \(m= (m_1,\dots, m_N)\) is any multi-index and \(m_j> 0\). In the case of systems the Leray-Volevich conditions are sufficient, but not necessary for the local existence of solutions. The goal of this paper is to find a formulation of the above Cauchy problem and corresponding spaces of solutions under which the Leray-Volevich conditions are necessary, too. The idea is to use the property of conical evolution of solutions and interpret \(m_1,m_2,\dots, m_N\) as power singularities of the components \(u_1,u_2,\dots, u_N\) of the solution \(u= u(t,z)\). Using scale-type estimates leads to the corresponding Banach space of solutions. By the same approach, the adjoint Cauchy problem is formulated and well-posedness is proved in spaces of analytic functionals assuming the Leray-Volevich conditions.
