Abstract:
In this paper we consider the Goursat problem for the two-dimensional system of high order. The purpose is to find sufficient conditions of solvability of the considered problem in quadratures. The method of finding solutions of these problems in explicit calculation based on factorization of equations is devised. As a result the initial problem is reduced to 5 simpler problems: to four Goursat problems for equation and the Goursat problem for hyperbolic system of the second order. The final result in terms of the coefficients of the original system is formulated in two theorems.
Keywords:system of differential equations, Goursat problem, solvability in quadratures.
