Abstract
The noncharacteristic Cauchy problem is considered for a general class of operators in one space dimension which are second order in space and first order in time. A weighted energy technique is used to prove uniqueness and logarithmic continuous dependence on the data. The technique is also applied to two problems of higher order. The results are then extended to systems of equations which are coupled in lower order derivative terms.
