Overview
- Features thorough discussions on well/ill-posedness of the Cauchy problem for di?erential operators with double characteristics of non-e?ectively hyperbolic type
- Takes a uni?ed approach combining geometrical and microlocal tools
- Adopts the viewpoint that the Hamilton map and the geometry of bicharacteristics characterizes the well/ill-posedness of the Cauchy problem

About this book
A doubly characteristic point of a differential operator P of order m (i.e. one where Pm = dPm = 0) is effectively hyperbolic if the Hamilton map FPm has real non-zero eigen values. When the characteristics are at most double and every double characteristic is effectively hyperbolic, the Cauchy problem for P can be solved for arbitrary lower order terms.
If there is a non-effectively hyperbolic characteristic, solvability requires the subprincipal symbol of P to lie between −Pµj and Pµj, where iµj are the positive imaginary eigenvalues of FPm . Moreover, if 0 is an eigenvalue of FPm with corresponding 4 × 4 Jordan block, the spectral structure of FPm is insufficient to determine whether the Cauchy problem is well-posed and the behavior of bicharacteristics near the doubly characteristic manifold plays a crucial role.
