We consider single-observed cascade systems of hyperbolic equations. We first consider the class of bounded operators that satisfy a non negativity property $(NNP)$. Within this class, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for observability of the cascade system by a single observation. We further show that if the coupling operator does not satisfy $(NNP)$ (contrarily to [5], or also e.g.[3,4] for symmetrically coupled systems), the usual observability inequality through a single component may still occur in a general framework, under some smallness conditions, but it may also be violated. When the coupling operator is a multiplication operator, $(NNP)$ is violated whenever the coupling coefficient changes sign in the spatial domain. We give explicit constructive examples of such coupling operators for which unique continuation may fail for an infinite dimensional set of initial data, that we characterize explicitly. We also exhibit examples of couplings and initial data for which the observability inequality holds but in weaker norms. These examples extend to parabolic systems. Finally, we show that the two-level energy method [1,2] which involves different levels of energies for the observed and unobserved component, may involve the same levels of energies of these respective components, if the differential order of the coupling is higher (operating here through velocities instead of displacements). We further give an application to controlled systems coupled in velocities. This shows that the answer to observability and unique continuation questions for single-observed cascade systems is much more involved in the case of coupling operators that violate $(NNP)$ or of higher order coupling operators, and that the mathematical properties of the coupling operator greatly influence the dynamics of the observed system even though it operates through lower order differential terms. We indicate several extensions and future directions of research.
