On solvability of boundary value problems for hyperbolic fourth-order equations with nonlocal boundary conditions of integral type Available to Purchase

Solvability of some initial-boundary value problems for linear hyperbolic equations of the fourth order is studied. A condition on the lateral boundary in these problems relates the values of a solution or the conormal derivative of a solution to the values of some integral operator applied to a solution. Nonlocal boundary-value problems for one-dimensional hyperbolic second-order equations with integral conditions on the lateral boundary were considered in the articles by A.I. Kozhanov. Higher-dimensional hyperbolic equations of higher order with integral conditions on the lateral boundary were not studied earlier. The existence and uniqueness theorems of regular solutions are proven. The method of regularization and the method of continuation in a parameter are employed to establish solvability.
