Regular generalized solutions to semilinear wave equations
Abstract
The paper is devoted to proving an existence and uniqueness result for generalized solutions to semilinear wave equations with a small nonlinearity in space dimensions 1, 2, 3. The setting is the one of Colombeau algebras of generalized functions. It is shown that for a nonlinearity of arbitrary growth and sign, but multiplied with a small parameter, the initial value problem for the semilinear wave equation has a unique solution in the Colombeau algebra of generalized functions of bounded type. The proof relies on a fixed point theorem in the ultra-metric topology on the algebras involved. In classical terms, the result says that the semilinear wave equations under consideration have global classical solutions up to a rapidly vanishing error.
