Abstract

This paper contributes to the wider study of hyperbolic equations with multiplicities. We focus here on some classes of higher order hyperbolic equations with space dependent coefficients in any space dimension. We prove Sobolev well-posedness of the corresponding Cauchy problem (with loss of derivatives due to the multiplicities) under suitable Levi conditions on the lower order terms. These conditions generalise the well known Olienik's conditions in \citeO70 to orders higher than 2.
