Abstract
We investigate the first mixed problem for a quasilinear hyperbolic equation of the second order with power nonlinearity in a domain unbounded with respect to the space variables. The case of arbitrarily many space variables is considered. We establish conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a solution of this problem independent of the behavior of the solution as |x| → + ∞. The indicated classes of existence and uniqueness are the spaces of locally integrable functions, and, furthermore, the dimension of the domain does not limit the order of nonlinearity.
