This article studies uniqueness, in the class of distributions, of solutions of the Cauchy problem for a class of degenerate hyperbolic second order equations, when the initial curve contains a doubly characteristic point. The techniques employed are Carleman estimates and the concatenation method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
