Abstract

In 1963, Kumano-go presented one non-uniqueness example for the two-dimensional wave equation with a time-dependent potential. We construct infinitely many non-uniqueness examples with different wave numbers at infinity for Cauchy problems of the two-dimensional wave equation and Schrödinger equation as a generalization of the construction by Kumano-go.
