Abstract

For the four-dimensional nonhomogeneous wave equation boundary value problems that are multidimensional analogues of Darboux problems in the plane are studied. It is known that for smooth right-hand side functions the unique generalized solution may have a strong power-type singularity at only one point. This singularity is isolated at the vertex �� of the boundary light characteristic cone and does not propagate along the bicharacteristics.The present paper describes asymptotic expansions of the generalized solutions in negative powers of the distance to ��. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of bounded solutions are proven and additionally a priori estimates for the singular solutions are obtained.
