When 
e 
= 
0, 
we  understand that Exp(q/O; 
C) 
= 
0, 
which does not make 
any contradiction in the results. 
By the above choice of  the Cauchy data 
p(x) 
we  have for the Gevrey

Remark 
1. 
Our Cauchy problem (CP) is only for a simple equation, but 
the generalization is possible for an equation in two variables which has a 
quasi homogeneity in derivatives 
at 
and 
a,. 
In fact, it is enough to follow 
the arguments? consulting the arguments developed in this paper.

a(0)-Gevrey summability (Review) 
We, first, give a short review of  the definition of  the Gevrey summability 
and the Gevrey sum. 
Let 
6' 
E 
R, 
a 
> 
0 
and 
0 
< 
p 
5 
+m. 
Then a sector 
S(O,a,p) 
in the 
complex 
t 
plane is defined by 
a 
s(e, 
a, 
p) 
= 
{t 
E 
c 
; 
o 
< 
~tl 
< 
p, 
larg(t) 
- 
el 
< 
2} 
. 
We  refer 
8, 
a 
and 
p 
as the direction, opening angle and the radius of  the 
sector, respectively. 
Let 
f(t, 
x) 
= 
fn(x)tn 
E 
0,[[t]lU 
with 
a 
> 
0. 
Then, by the defini- 
tion, we  say that 
f(t,x) 
is a-Gevrey summable in 
0 
direction (in t-plane) 
if  there exists an analytic function 
f(t, 
x) 
on 
S(t9, 
a7r 
+ 
E, 
p) 
x 
{ 
1x1 
5 
r} 
for 
some positive constants 
E, 
p 
and 
r 
such that for any closed sector 
S' 
with 
a 
vertex at the origin such that 
(S'\{O}) 
c 
S(0, 
m++, 
p) 
there exist positive 
constants 
r', 
C 
and 
K 
such that the following asymptotic estimates hold 
for all 
N

1. 
This kind of  asymptotic expansion is called a-Gevrey asymp- 
totic expansion, and it is written by 
f(t,x) 
Nu 
f^(t,x) 
in s(e,a7r+E).

In this expression, we omit to write the radius 
p 
of  the sector 
S(0, 
m+~, 
p), 
since the radius is not an essential problem for the Gevrey summability. We 
note that thanks of  the condition that the opening angle of  the sector is 
larger than 
a7r 
for the definite domain of 
f(t, 
x), 
one can show that such an 
analytic function 
f(t, 
x) 
is unique if  such analytic functions exist, and it is
