Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the integrability of the vector field of the initial-value problem associated with certain nonlinear wave equations. This vector field involves translations and as such is not a strongly continuous or even strongly measurable L-valued function. It is shown that such a vector field, although not generally Pettis integrable, does turn out to be so in an important situation. We then indicate how this result can be used to obtain pseudo-solutions of the initial-value problem.
