Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for second order differential operators with two independent variables P=Dt2Dx(b(t)a(x))DxP=D_t^2-D_x(b(t)a(x))D_x. Assume that b(t)b(t) is a nonnegative Cn,alphaC^{n,alpha} function and a(x)a(x) is a nonnegative Gevrey function of order s>1s>1 we prove that the Cauchy problem for PP is well-posed in the Gevrey class of any order s<s<1+(n+alpha)/2s<s'<1+(n+alpha)/2.
