Tanabé, Susumu Hyperbolic Cauchy problem and Leray’s residue formula. (English) Zbl 0964.35091 Ann. Pol. Math. 74, 275-290 (2000). The author considers a strictly hyperbolic operator \(P(D_t, D_x)\) of order \(m\) with constant coefficients, and the corresponding Cauchy problem \[ \begin{cases} P(D_t,D_x) u(t, x)=0,\\ D^{m-1}_tu(0, x)= v(x),\quad D^{m-j}_t u(0,x)= 0,\quad 2\leq j\leq m.\end{cases} \] The initial datum \(v(x)\) is assumed to be of a special form, namely the singular support is located on the cotangent bundle of a smooth algebraic surface. A precise asymptotic expansion is then computed for the solution \(u(t,x)\) in a neighborhood of the singular support, with the aid of Gauss-Nanin systems satisfied by Leray’s residues.
