Keywords Neumann problem nonsmooth domains hyperbolic equations generalized solution. 1. Introduction We are concerned with boundary value problems and value for hyperbolic equations in nonsmooth domains. The problems with the Dirichlet boundary condi- tions and initial data have been investigated in 2 3 4 . The boundary value problem without initial condition for parabolic equation has been investigated in 5 6 7 8 . The main goal of this work is to prove the existence of a generalized solution of the Neumann problem without having initial data. Let Ω be a nonsmooth domain in Rn n 2 .
