Abstract
We consider the Cauchy problem for a nonlocal wave equation in one dimension. We study the existence of solutions by means of bicharacteristics. The existence and uniqueness is obtained in $W^{1,\infty }_{\rm loc}$ topology. The existence theorem is proved in a subset generated by certain continuity conditions for the derivatives.
