Abstract:
The generalized Cauchy problem with data on three surfaces is under consideration for a quasilinear analytic system of the third order. Under some simplifying assumption, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of a solution in the form of triple series in the powers of the independent variables. We obtain convenient sufficient conditions under which the data of the generalized Cauchy problem has a unique locally analytic solution. We give counterexamples demonstrating that in the case we study it is impossible to state necessary and sufficient conditions for analytic solvability of the generalized Cauchy problem. We also show that the analytic solution can fail to exist even if the generalized Cauchy problem with data on three surfaces has a formal solution since the series converge only at a sole point, the origin.
