Critical exponent for nonlinear wave equations with damping and potential terms

The aim of this paper is to determine the critical exponent for the nonlinear wave equations with damping and potential terms of the scale invariant order, by assuming that these terms satisfy a special relation. We underline that our critical exponent is different from the one for related equations such as the nonlinear wave equation without lower order terms, only with a damping term, and only with a potential term. Moreover, we study the effect of the decaying order of initial data at spatial infinity. In fact, we prove that not only the lower order terms but also the order of the initial data affects the critical exponent, as well as the sharp upper and lower bounds of the maximal existence time of the solution.

Global solvabilty for nonlinear wave equations with singular potential

In this work we study the global existence for 3d semilinear wave equation with non-negative potential satisfying generic decay assumptions. In the supercritical case we establish the small data global existence result. The approach is based on appropriate conformal energy estimate in combination with Hardy inequality for conformal energy on space - like surfaces.

Blow-up for Strauss type wave equation with damping and potential

We study a kind of nonlinear wave equations with damping and potential, whose coefficients are both critical in the sense of the scaling and depend only on the spatial variables. Based on the earlier works, one may think there are two kinds of blow-up phenomenons when the exponent of the nonlinear term is small. It also means there are two kinds of law to determine the critical exponent. In this paper, we obtain a blow-up result and get the estimate of the upper bound of the lifespan in critical and sub-critical cases. All of the results support such a conjecture, although for now, the existence part is still open.

Critical exponent for nonlinear damped wave equations with non-negative potential in 3D

We are studying possible interaction of damping coefficients in the subprincipal part of the linear 3D wave equation and their impact on the critical exponent of the corresponding nonlinear Cauchy problem with small initial data. The main new phenomena is that certain relation between these coefficients may cause very strong jump of the critical Strauss exponent in 3D to the critical 5D Strauss exponent for the wave equation without damping coefficients.

Lower bound of the lifespan of solutions to semilinear wave equations in an exterior domain

We consider the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for semilinear wave equations in a three space dimensional domain exterior to a bounded and non-trapping obstacle. We obtain a detailed estimate for the lower bound of the lifespan of classical solutions when the size of initial data tends to zero, in a similar spirit to that of the works of John and Hörmander where the Cauchy problem was treated. We show that our estimate is sharp at least for some special case.

Decay estimates of a tangential derivative to the light cone for the wave equation and their application

We consider wave equations in three space dimensions, and obtain new weighted $L^\infty$-$L^\infty$ estimates for a tangential derivative to the light cone. As an application, we give a new proof of the global existence theorem, which was originally proved by Klainerman and Christodoulou, for systems of nonlinear wave equations under the null condition. Our new proof has the advantage of using neither the scaling nor the pseudo-rotation operators.

The rate of convergence to the asymptotics for the wave equation in an exterior domain

In this paper we consider the mixed problem for the wave equation exterior to a non-trapping obstacle in odd space dimensions. We derive a rate of the convergence of the solution for the mixed problem to a solution for the Cauchy problem. As a by-product, we are able to find out the radiation field of solutions to the mixed problem in terms of the scattering data.

An elementary proof of global existence for nonlinear wave equations in an exterior domain

The aim of this article is to present an elementary proof of a global existence result for nonlinear wave equations satifying the null condition in an exterior domain. The novelty of our proof is to avoid completely the scaling operator which would make the argument complicated in the mixed problem, by using a new weighted pointwise estimates of a tangential derivative to the light cone.
