Fractional derivatives of composite functions and the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear half wave equation

We show new results of wellposedness for the Cauchy problem for the half wave equation with power-type nonlinear terms. For the purpose, we propose two approaches on the basis of the contraction-mapping argument. One of them relies upon the $L_t^q L_x^\infty$ Strichartz-type estimate together with the chain rule of fairly general fractional orders. This chain rule has a significance of its own. Furthermore, in addition to the weighted fractional chain rule established in Hidano, Jiang, Lee, and Wang (arXiv:1605.06748v1 [math.AP]), the other approach uses weighted space-time $L^2$ estimates for the inhomogeneous equation which are recovered from those for the second-order wave equation. In particular, by the latter approach we settle the problem left open in Bellazzini, Georgiev, and Visciglia (arXiv:1611.04823v1 [math.AP]) concerning the local wellposedness in $H^{s}_{\rm rad}({\mathbb R}^n)$ with $s>1/2$.

Combined effects of two nonlinearities in lifespan of small solutions to semi-linear wave equations

This paper investigates the combined effects of two distinctive power-type nonlinear terms (with parameters $p,q>1$) in the lifespan of small solutions to semi-linear wave equations. We determine the full region of $(p,q)$ to admit global existence of small solutions, at least for spatial dimensions $n=2, 3$. Moreover, for many $(p,q)$ when there is no global existence, we obtain sharp lower bound of the lifespan, which is of the same order as the upper bound of the lifespan.

The Glassey conjecture for nontrapping obstacles

We verify the three-dimensional Glassey conjecture for exterior domain (M, g), where the metric g is asymptotically Euclidean, provided that certain local energy assumption is satisfied. The radial Glassey conjecture exterior to a ball is also verified for dimension three or higher. The local energy assumption is satisfied for many important cases, including exterior domain with nontrapping obstacles and flat metric, exterior domain with star-shaped obstacles and small asymptotically Euclidean metric, as well as the nontrapping asymptotically Euclidean manifolds (R^n, g).

Global existence of null-form wave equations on small asymptotically Euclidean manifolds

We prove the global existence of the small solutions to the Cauchy problem for quasilinear wave equations satisfying the null condition on $(R^3, g)$, where the metric $g$ is a small perturbation of the flat metric and approaches the Euclidean metric like $(1+|x|)^{-a}$ with $a>1$. Global and almost global existence for systems without the null condition are also discussed for certain small time-dependent perturbations of the flat metric in the appendix.

The Glassey conjecture on asymptotically flat manifolds

We verify the 3-dimensional Glassey conjecture on asymptotically flat manifolds $(R^{1+3}, g)$, where the metric $g$ is certain small space-time perturbation of the flat metric, as well as the nontrapping asymptotically Euclidean manifolds. Moreover, for radial asymptotically flat manifolds $(R^{1+n}, g)$ with $n\ge 3$, we verify the Glassey conjecture in the radial case. High dimensional wave equations with higher regularity are also discussed. The main idea is to exploit local energy and KSS estimates with variable coefficients, together with the weighted Sobolev estimates including trace estimates.

The Strauss conjecture on Kerr black hole backgrounds

We examine solutions to semilinear wave equations on black hole backgrounds and give a proof of an analog of the Strauss conjecture on the Schwarzschild and Kerr, with small angular momentum, black hole backgrounds. The key estimates are a class of weighted Strichartz estimates, which are used near infinity where the metrics can be viewed as small perturbations of the Minkowski metric, and a localized energy estimate on the black hole background, which handles the behavior in the remaining compact set.

Recent works on the Strauss conjecture

In this review paper, we summarize the current state-of-art on the Strauss conjecture with nontrapping obstacles. Among others, three essential estimates are emphasized and presented: Morawetz-KSS estimates (also known as local energy estimates), weighted Strichartz estimates and generalized Strichartz estimates.

On almost global existence and local well-posedness for some 3-D quasi-linear wave equations

We study the Cauchy problem for a quasilinear wave equation with low-regularity data. A space-time $L^2$ estimate for the variable coefficient wave equation plays a central role for this purpose. Assuming radial symmetry, we establish the almost global existence of a strong solution for every small initial data in $H^2 \times H^1$. We also show that the initial value problem is locally well-posed.

Generalized and weighted Strichartz estimates

In this paper, we explore the relations between different kinds of Strichartz estimates and give new estimates in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$. In particular, we prove the generalized and weighted Strichartz estimates for a large class of dispersive operators including the Schrödinger and wave equation. As a sample application of these new estimates, we are able to prove the Strauss conjecture with low regularity for dimension 2 and 3.

The Glassey conjecture with radially symmetric data

In this paper, we verify the Glassey conjecture in the radial case for all spatial dimensions, which states that, for the nonlinear wave equations of the form $\Box u=|\nabla u|^p$, the critical exponent to admit global small solutions is given by $p_c=1+\frac{2}{n-1}$. Moreover, we are able to prove the existence results with low regularity assumption on the initial data and extend the solutions to the sharp lifespan. The main idea is to exploit the trace estimates and KSS type estimates.

Strichartz estimates for Dirichlet-wave equations in two dimensions with applications

We establish the Strauss conjecture for nontrapping obstacles when the spatial dimension $n$ is two. As pointed out in \cite{HMSSZ} this case is more subtle than $n=3$ or 4 due to the fact that the arguments of the first two authors \cite{SmSo00}, Burq \cite{B} and Metcalfe \cite{M} showing that local Strichartz estimates for obstactles imply global ones require that the Sobolev index, $γ$, equal 1/2 when $n=2$. We overcome this difficulty by interpolating between energy estimates ($γ=0$) and ones for $γ=\frac12$ that are generalizations of Minkowski space estimates of Fang and the third author \cite{FaWa2}, \cite{FaWa}, the second author \cite{So08} and Sterbenz \cite{St05}.

Concerning the Wave equation on Asymptotically Euclidean Manifolds

We obtain KSS, Strichartz and certain weighted Strichartz estimate for the wave equation on $(\R^d, \mathfrak{g})$, $d \geq 3$, when metric $\mathfrak{g}$ is non-trapping and approaches the Euclidean metric like $ x ^{- ρ}$ with $ρ>0$. Using the KSS estimate, we prove almost global existence for quadratically semilinear wave equations with small initial data for $ρ> 1$ and $d=3$. Also, we establish the Strauss conjecture when the metric is radial with $ρ>0$ for $d= 3$.

Almost global existence for some semilinear wave equations with almost critical regularity

For any subcritical index of regularity $s>3/2$, we prove the almost global well posedness for the 2-dimensional semilinear wave equation with the cubic nonlinearity in the derivatives, when the initial data are small in the Sobolev space $H^s\times H^{s-1}$ with certain angular regularity. The main new ingredient in the proof is an endpoint version of the generalized Strichartz estimates in the space $L^2_t L_{|x|}^\infty L^2_θ([0,T]\times \R^2)$. In the last section, we also consider the general semilinear wave equations with the spatial dimension $n\ge 2$ and the order of nonlinearity $p\ge 3$.

Weighted Strichartz Estimates with Angular Regularity and their Applications

In this paper, we establish an optimal dual version of trace estimate involving angular regularity. Based on this estimate, we get the generalized Morawetz estimates and weighted Strichartz estimates for the solutions to a large class of evolution equations, including the wave and Schrödinger equation. As applications, we prove the Strauss' conjecture with a kind of mild rough data for $2\le n\le 4$, and a result of global well-posedness with small data for some nonlinear Schrödinger equation with $L^2$-subcritical nonlinearity.

Ill-Posedness for Semilinear Wave Equations with Very Low Regularity

In this paper, we study the ill-posdness of the Cauchy problem for semilinear wave equation with very low regularity, where the nonlinear term depends on $u$ and $\partial_t u$. We prove a ill-posedness result for the "defocusing" case, and give an alternative proof for the supercritical "focusing" case, which improves our previous result in Chin. Ann. Math. Ser. B 26(3), 361-378, 2005.

Local Existence for Nonlinear Wave Equation with Radial Data in 2+1 Dimensions

We get a local existence result in $H^s$ with $s>3/2$ for second order quasilinear wave equation with radial initial data in 2+1 dimensions, based on an improvement of Strichartz estimate in the radial case. Moreover, we get the corresponding local well-posed result for semilinear wave equation. The required index of regularity here is 1/4 less than the index 7/4, which is essentially sharp in general.
