Abstract

We consider second order weakly hyperbolic operators. Some representation formulas are known (see [16]) for the fundamental solution of the initial value problem for the Tricomi-type equation

$$\partial _t^2u - {t^{2\ell }}\partial _x^2u = f\left( {t,x} \right)$$

. In this paper, we solve the initial value problem for

$$\partial _t^2u - {x^{2k}}\partial _x^2u = f\left( {t,x} \right)\;and\;\partial _t^2u - {e^{2kx}}\partial _x^2u = f\left( {t,x} \right)$$

. Furthermore, we solve the mixed initial boundary value problem for

$$\partial _t^2u - {t^{2\ell }}{x^{2k}}\partial _x^2u = 0$$
