In this paper we consider the modified wave equation associated with a class of radial Laplacians L generalizing the radial part of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on hyperbolic spaces or Damek-Ricci spaces. We show that the Huygens' principle and the equipartition of energy hold if the inverse of the Harish-Chandra c-function is a polynomial and that these two properties hold asymptotically otherwise. Similar results were established previously by Branson, Olafsson and Schlichtkrull in the case of noncompact symmetric spaces.
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.
