Abstract: We consider the helical reduction of the wave equation with an arbitrary source on (n+1)-dimensional Minkowski space, ngeq2. The reduced equation is of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type on . We obtain a uniqueness theorem for solutions on a domain consisting of an n-dimensional ball B centered on the reduction of the axis of helical symmetry and satisfying ingoing or outgoing Sommerfeld conditions on partialBapproxSn1. Non-linear generalizations of such boundary value problems (with n=3) arise in the intermediate phase of binary inspiral in general relativity.
