On well-posedness of the linear Cauchy problem with the distributional right-hand side and discontinuous coefficients
Abstract
We prove the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the linear differential system of the form , where is a distribution and possesses at most first-kind discontinuities together with all its derivatives defined almost everywhere. The left-hand side of this system contains the product of a distribution and, in general, a discontinuous function, which is undefined in the classical space of the distributions with the smooth test functions , so the Cauchy problem has no solution in . In what follows, we cosider this system in the space of distributions with the discontinuous test functions, whose elements admit continuous and associative multiplication by functions possessing at most first-kind discontinuities (together with all their derivatives defined almost everywhere), and show that there exists the unique solution of the Cauchy problem which depends continuously on .
