Abstract It is proved that the Dirichlet problem is correct in the characteristic rectangle 𝐷𝑎𝑏 = [0, 𝑎] × [0, 𝑏] for the linear hyperbolic equation with the summable in 𝐷𝑎𝑏 coefficients 𝑝0, 𝑝1, 𝑝2, 𝑝3 and 𝑞 if and only if the corresponding homogeneous problem has only the trivial solution. The effective and optimal in some sense restrictions on 𝑝0, 𝑝1, 𝑝2 and 𝑝3 guaranteeing the correctness of the Dirichlet problem are established.


A maximum principle is proved for the function ψ = J [ — 2u x u y dx + (Ku 2 x — u 2 y ) dy], where u is a solution of the equation of mixed type K(y)u xx + u yy = 0 with K(y) ≷ 0 for y ≷ 0. The proof rests in showing that iff satisfies an elliptic equation for y > 0 and that it is a non-decreasing function of y for y ⩽ 0. This maximum principle leads to a uniqueness theorem for the appropriate analogue to the Dirichlet problem for mixed equations under some conditions on the shape of the boundary curve. Very weak restrictions are imposed on K(y).

SynopsisIt is well known that the Dirichlet problem for hyperbolic equations is a classical “not well posed” problem. Here we consider the Dirichlet, Neumann and mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary value problems for the hyperbolic equation uxy = 0 in all positions of the square and a class of rectangles. We also get a partial answer to the problem which deals with a ray that moves from any point on the boundary of a rectangle and is reflected on the boundary such that the angle between every ray and its reflection is π/2.

AbstractThe definition of a Green’s function of a Cauchy–Dirichlet problem for the hyperbolic equation in a quarter plane is given. Its existence and uniqueness have been proven. Representation of the Green’s function is given. It is shown that the Green’s function can be represented by the Riemann–Green function.
