We consider a scalar diffusion equation with a sign-changing coefficient in its principle part. The well-posedness of such problems has already been studied extensively provided that the contrast of the coefficient is non-critical.…

A signature changing spacetime is one where an initially Riemannian manifold with Euclidean signature evolves into the Lorentzian universe we see today. This concept is motivated by problems in causality implied by the isotropy and…
