Abstract

We prove an existence theorem of Cauchy-Kovalevskaya type for the equation Dtu(t,z)=f(t,z,u(α(0)(t,z)),Dzu(α(1)(t,z)),...,Dzku(α(k)(t,z))) where f is a polynomial with respect to the last k variables.

Keywords

nonlinear equation, deviating argument, analytic solution, Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem
