Characteristic Initial Value Problems

Characteristic Initial Value Problems is an initial value problem in which the initial data are specified on a characteristic hypersurface, distinguishing it from standard initial value problems by the degeneracy of the Cauchy surface and the associated constraints on the well-posedness and propagation of solutions.
