Abstract:
The Cauchy problem for a semilinear pseudodifferential
second order hyperbolic equation of the form
$$
\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}u(t,x)+iB(t)\frac\partial{\partial t}u(t,x)+A(t)u(t,x)+f(t,x;u(t,x))=0
$$
is studied. The results (presented in a previous author's paper,
see Zapisky Nauch. Semin. LOMI, 1990, v. 182) on the existence and
uniqueness of the global weak (energy class) solutions are
revised. In the case of more regular initial data ($u(0,\cdot)\in H^{s+1}$, $\partial_t u(0,\cdot)\in H^s$, $0<s\leqslant2$)
the respective regularity of weak solutions is proved.
