Title: A Holmgren type theorem for partial differential equations whose coefficients are Gevrey functions Author: Masaki Kawagishi (Nihon Univ., Tokyo, Japan) Abstract: In this article, we consider a uniqueness theorem of Holmgren type for p-th order Kovalevskaja linear partial differential equations whose coefficients are Gevrey functions. We prove that the only $C^p$-solution to the zero initial-valued problem is the identically zero function. To prove this result we use the uniqueness theorem for higher-order ordinary differential equations in Banach scales. Submitted March 28, 2010. Published May 21, 2010.
