Let D be a bounded connected domain in Rn with a piecewise smooth boundary ∂D, W = D×(0, T), T ≤ ∞, and ∂W = ∂D×[ 0, T) . The hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem,

in W,

u( x, 0) = u0( x) ,   ut( x, 0) = u1(x) for x ∈ D; u( x, t) = 0 on ∂W,
where p > 1, q > 1, and b > 0 are given positive constants and a(t) is a given function of t, is studied. Properties of solutions of the problem are discussed.
