In this paper the initial value problem to the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov e
quations in two dimensions is discussed. Without assuming that the Cau
chy data are small, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the globa
l smooth solution for the problem via the so-called continuous method
and delicate a priori estimates. Also the asymptotic behaviour of the
solution to the K-G-Z equations with a small parameter approaching zer
o is studied. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
