Abstract
By solving a singular initial value problem, we prove the existence of solutions of the wave equation which are bounded at the Big Bang in the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker cosmological models. More precisely, we show that given any function (where or models the spatial hypersurfaces) there exists a unique solution of the wave equation converging to in at the Big Bang, and whose time derivative is suitably controlled in .
