We prove existence of a solution and we precise how it depends on the choice made. We also check that in the classical case (non-characteristic) our new solution coincides with the classical one.23 pages; no figureAnalysis of PDEs35D05 (Primary), 35L05 (Secondary)Solving a characteristic Cauchy problemtext
