Fractional wave equation with irregular mass and dissipation

Abstract

In this paper, we pursue our series of papers aiming to show the applicability of the concept of very weak solutions. We consider a wave model with irregular position-dependent mass and dissipation terms, in particular, allowing for delta\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\delta $$\end{document}-like coefficients and prove that the problem has a very weak solution. Furthermore, we prove the uniqueness in an appropriate sense and the coherence of the very weak solution concept with classical theory. A special case of the model considered here is the so-called telegraph equation.
