A CHARACTERISTIC INITIAL VALUE PROBLEM FOR A STRICTLY HYPERBOLIC SYSTEM NEZAM IRANIPARAST Received 6 August 2003 Consider the system Autt + Cuxx = f (x,t), (x,t) ∈ T for u(x,t) in R2 , where A and C are real constant 2 × 2 matrices, and f is a continuous function in R2 . We assume that det C ≠ 0 and that the system is strictly hyperb
