Conditions for the Hyperbolicity of a Linear Third-Order Differential Equation in a One-Dimensional Space

Resumo

We study the general linear third-order differential equation with constant real coefficients in the case of two independent variables. Necessary and sufficient coefficient conditions for the hyperbolicity and strict hyperbolicity of the equation, as well as for the representability of the differential operator occurring in the equation in the form of a composition of first-order operators, are obtained.
