Abstract

Some variants of one-dimensional and two-dimensional integral inequalities of the Volterra type are applied to study the behaviour properties of the solutions to various boundary value problems for partial differential equations of the hyperbolic type. Moreover, new types of integral inequalities for one and two variables, being a generalization of the Gronwall inequality, are presented and used in the theory of nonlinear hyperbolic differential equations.
