Abstract

In this paper, we pursue our series of papers aiming to show the applicability of the concept of very weak solutions. We consider a wave model with irregular position dependent mass and dissipation terms, in particular, allowing for delta-like coefficients and prove that the problem has a very weak solution. Furthermore, we prove the uniqueness in an appropriate sense and the coherence of the very weak solution concept with classical theory. A special case of the model considered here, is the so-called telegraph equation.
