The Cauchy problem for Schr\"odinger-type partial differential operators with generalized functions in the principal part and as data

We set-up and solve the Cauchy problem for Schr\"odinger-type differential operators with generalized functions as coefficients, in particular, allowing for distributional coefficients in the principal part. Equations involving such kind of operators appeared in models of deep earth seismology. We prove existence and uniqueness of Colombeau generalized solutions and analyze the relations with classical and distributional solutions. Furthermore, we provide a construction of generalized initial values that may serve as square roots of arbitrary probability measures.
