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 the Cauchy problem for effectively hyperbolic operators $P$ with principal symbol $p(t, x,\tau,\xi)$ having triple characteristics on $t = 0$. Under a condition (E) we show that such operators are strongly hyperbolic, that is the…

We prove that the Cauchy problem for the model hyperbolic operator in $ \R^{4} $ \[ Q=-D_t^2+2xD_tD_y+D_x^2+x^3D_y^2+D_z^2+z^2D_y^2 \] is not locally solvable at the origin, in the Gevrey $s$ class if $s>6$.

For a homogeneous polynomial $p$ in $\xi\in {\bf R}^n$ with Gevrey coefficients, it is known that the Cauchy problem for any realization of $p$ is well-posed in the Gevrey class of order $s<2$ if the characteristic roots are real. In this…

We exhibit a family of second-order hyperbolic differential operators presenting spectral transition of the Hamilton map. As a consequence we prove that the Cauchy problem is not locally solvable at the origin in Gevrey classes of order…
