Abstract:
A class of strictly pseudohyperbolic operators
of the fourth order with variable coefficients is considered.
This class includes, in particular, the Vlasov, Gal'pern, and Rayleigh–Bishop operators.
Under certain conditions for the coefficients, energy estimates are established.
Keywords:equation not solvable with respect to the highest-order derivative,
pseudohyperbolic operator, energy estimate, weighted Sobolev space.
