Abstract:
In this paper, we study a class of degenerate hyperbolic equations and prove the existence of smooth solutions for Cauchy problems. The existence result is based on a priori estimates of Sobolev norms of solutions. Such estimates illustrate a loss of derivatives because of the degeneracy.References
