Abstract:
For the equation
$$
\varphi(y-\tau(x))\frac{\partial^2u}{\partial x\partial y}+a(x,y)\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+b(x,y)\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}+c(x,y)u=f(x,y),
$$
where $\varphi(t)$ is an increasing function with $\varphi(0)=0$, consider the Cauchy problem in different formulations determined by specifying the initial data in various forms on the curve $y=\tau(x)$. It is proved that the problems considered are uniquely solvable.
