Hadamard defines the “elementary solution” of the general linear partial differential equation of the second order, namely(Aik, BiC being functions of the n variables x1, x2, .., xn, which may be regarded as coordinates in a space of n dimensions), to be one of those solutions which are infinite to as low an order as possible at a given point and on every bicharacteristic through that point.

Riemann's method of solution of a linear second order partial differential equation of hyperbolic type was introduced in his memoir on sound waves. It has been used by Darboux in discussing the equationwhere α, β, γ are functions of x and y.

Let p (x) be an essentially positive function defined in the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ π. We consider the non-linear partial differential equationfor the boundary conditions u (x, t) = 0,for x = 0 and x = π,

SummaryIt is shown that the elementary solution Γ(x, ξ; t – τ) of the equationbehaves, as t → τ + O, in very much the same manner as the elementary solution of the equation of heat.

The Green's function G(x, ξ, λ) associated with the differential equation is of importance in the theory of the expansion of an arbitrary function in terms of the solutions of the differential equation. It is proved that this function is unique if q(x) ≧ — Ax2— B, where A and B are positive constants or zero. A similar theorem is proved for the Green's function G(x, y, ξ, η, λ) associated with the partial differential equation
