1. Introduction

Let be ultrahyperbolic operator iterated -times defined by where is the dimension of space and is a nonnegative integer.

Consider the linear differential equation of the form where and are generalized function and .

Gel’fand and Shilov [1, pages 279–282] first introduced the fundamental solution of (1.2) which is complicated form. Later Trione [2] has shown that the generalized function which is defined by (2.2) is the unique fundamental solution of (1.2) and Aguirre Tellez [3] also proved that exists only in case is odd and is odd or even and .

In 1996, Kananthai [4] has been the first to introduce the operator which is named as the diamond operator iterated -times and is defined by where is the dimension of the space , for and is a nonnegative integer. The operator can be expressed in the form where is the Laplace operator defined by and is the ultrahyperbolic operator iterated -times and is defined by (1.1). Tellez and Kananthai [5, lemma 3.1, page 46] have shown that the convolution is a fundamental solution of the operator , where and are defined by (2.8) and (2.2), respectively. That is,

Furthermore, Yildirim et al. [6] first introduced the Bessel diamond operator iterated -times defined by where , . The operator can be expressed by , where

Yildirim et al. [6] have shown that the solution of the convolution form is a unique fundamental solution of the operator , that is, where and are defined by (2.11) and (2.15) with , respectively.

Now, firstly the purpose of this paper is to study the following equation: where the operator defined by (1.3) and defined by (1.7) with is a generalized function and is an unknown function.

Finally, we will study the nonlinear of the form with defined and having continuous first derivative for all , where is an open subset of and denotes the boundary of , and is bounded on , that is, is constant. We can find the solution of (1.12) which is unique under the boundary condition for , and we obtain the solution related to the elastic wave equation.

Before going to that point, the following definitions and some concepts are needed.
