Of concern are factored Euler-Poisson-Darboux equations of the type∏Nj=1(d2/dt2+(ρ/t)d/dt+Aj)u(t)=0,where, for example, Aj=-cjΔ, Δ being the Dirichlet Laplacian acting on L2(Ω), Ω⊂∝n, and 0〈c1〈…〈cN. More generally -Aj can be the square of the generator of a (C0) group on a Banach space. When the constant ρ is negative, the initial value problem for the factored EPD equation is ill-posed. Nevertheless, we determine how many initial conditions are necessary to guarantee uniqueness of a solution. This number jumps up as ρ crosses a negative integer from right to left. © 1997 by B. G.
