Approximation and support theorem for a wave equation in two space dimensions

We prove a characterization of the support of the law of the solution for a stochastic wave equation with two-dimensional space variable, driven by a noise white in time and correlated in space. The result is a consequence of an approximation theorem, in the convergence of probability, for equations obtained by smoothing the random noise. For some particular classes of coe fficients, approximation in the L-p-norm for p greater than or equal to 1 i s also proved.
