Cauchy problems with the modified conditions for the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equations (Q654537)

This paper deals with the Cauchy problem with the second data null both for the the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation \[ \Delta_n U(t,x)=\left(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}+\frac{1-2\mu}{t}\,\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\right)U(t,x),\qquad x\in {\mathbb R} ^n ,\;t>0 \] and for the radial Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation \[ \left(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}+\frac{1-2\nu}{x}\,\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\right)U(t,x)=\left(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}+\frac{1-2\mu}{t}\,\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\right)U(t,x),\qquad x\in {\mathbb R} ^n ,\;t>0. \] The main result gives the explicit solutions of this problem in terms of the Appell hypergeometric functions. Applications to the classical and radial wave equation are also provided.
