We study a class of third order hyperbolic operators $P$ in $G = \Omega \cap \{0 \leq t \leq T\},\: \Omega \subset \R^{n+1}$ with triple characteristics on $t = 0$. We consider the case when the fundamental matrix of the principal symbol…

We study effectively hyperbolic operators $P$ with triple characteristics points lying on $t= 0$. Under some conditions on the principal symbol of $P$ one proves that the Cauchy problem for $P$ in $[0, T] \times U$ is well posed for every…

Ivrii's conjecture asserts that the Cauchy problem is $C^{\infty}$ well-posed for any lower order term if every critical point of the principal symbol is effectively hyperbolic. Effectively hyperbolic critical point is at most triple…

We consider a class of weakly hyperbolic systems of first-order, nonlinear PDEs. Weak hyperbolicity means here that the principal symbol of the system has a crossing of eigenvalues, and is not uniformly diagonalizable. We prove the…

Symmetrizers for hyperbolic equations are obtained by diagonalizing the Bezoutian matrix of hyperbolic symbols. Such diagonal symmetrizers are applied to the Cauchy problem for hyperbolic operators with triple characteristics. In…

For a class of weakly hyperbolic systems of the form D_t - A(t,x,D_x), where A(t,x,D_x) is a first-order pseudodifferential operator whose principal symbol degenerates like t^{l_*} at time t=0, for some integer l_* \geq 1, well-posedness of…

We consider the Cauchy problem for a hyperbolic pseudodifferential operator whose symbol is generalized, resembling a representative of a Colombeau generalized function. Such equations arise, for example, after a reduction-decoupling of…
