A generalized Levi condition for weakly hyperbolic Cauchy problems with coefficients low regular in time and smooth in space

We consider the Cauchy problem for weakly hyperbolic $m$-th order partial differential equations with coefficients low-regular in time and smooth in space. It is well-known that in general one has to impose Levi conditions to get $C^\infty$ or Gevrey well-posedness even if the coefficients are smooth. We use moduli of continuity to describe the regularity of the coefficients with respect to time, weight sequences for the characterization of their regularity with respect to space and weight functions to define the solution spaces. Furthermore, we propose a generalized Levi condition that models the influence of multiple characteristics more freely. We establish sufficient conditions for the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem, that link the Levi condition as well as the modulus of continuity and the weight sequence of the coefficients to the weight function of the solution space. Additionally, we obtain that the influences of the Levi condition and the low regularity of coefficients on the weight function of the solution space are independent of each other.

Fujita versus Strauss - a never ending story

In this paper, we obtain a blow-up result for solutions to a semi-linear wave equation with scale-invariant dissipation and mass and power non-linearity, in the case in which the model has a "wave like" behavior. In order to achieve this goal, we perform a change of variables that transforms our starting equation in a strictly hyperbolic semi-linear wave equation with time-dependent speed of propagation. Then, we apply Kato's lemma to find a blow-up result for solutions to the transformed equation under some support and sign assumptions on the initial data. A special emphasis is placed on the limit case, that is, when the exponent p is exactly equal to the upper bound of the range of admissible values of p for which this blow-up result is valid. In this critical case an explicit integral representation formula for solutions of the corresponding linear Cauchy problem in 1d is derived. Finally, carrying out the inverse change of variables we get a non-existence result for global (in time) solutions to the original model.

Regularity theory and global existence of small data solutions to semi-linear de Sitter models with power non-linearity

In this paper we study the Cauchy problem for semi-linear de Sitter models with power non-linearity. The model of interest is \[ ϕ_{tt} - e^{-2t} Δϕ+ nϕ_t+m^2ϕ=|ϕ|^p,\quad (ϕ(0,x),ϕ_t(0,x))=(f(x),g(x)),\] where $m^2$ is a non-negative constant. We study the global (in time) existence of small data solutions. In particular, we show the interplay between the power $p$, admissible data spaces and admissible spaces of solutions (in weak sense, in sense of energy solutions or in classical sense).

Non-analytic Superposition Results on Modulation Spaces with Subexponential Weights

Motivated by classical results for Gevrey spaces and their applications to nonlinear partial differential equations we define so-called Gevrey-modulation spaces. We establish analytic as well as non-analytic superposition results on Gevrey-modulation spaces. These results are extended to a special weighted modulation space where the weight increases stronger than any polynomial but less than as in the Gevrey case.

From $p_0(n)$ to $p_0(n+2)$

In this note we study the global existence of small data solutions to the Cauchy problem for the semi-linear wave equation with a not effective scale-invariant damping term, namely \[ v_{tt}-\triangle v + \frac2{1+t}\,v_t = |v|^p, \qquad v(0,x)=v_0(x),\quad v_t(0,x)=v_1(x), \] where $p>1$, $n\ge 2$. We prove blow-up in finite time in the subcritical range $p\in(1,p_2(n)]$ and an existence result for $p>p_2(n)$, $n=2,3$. In this way we find the critical exponent for small data solutions to this problem. All these considerations lead to the conjecture $p_2(n)=p_0(n+2)$ for $n\ge2$, where $p_0(n)$ is the Strauss exponent for the classical wave equation.

Semi-linear wave equations with effective damping

We study the Cauchy problem for the semi-linear damped wave equation in any space dimension. We assume that the time-dependent damping term is effective. We prove the global existence of small energy data solutions in the supercritical case.

Anisotropic thermo-elasticity in 2D -- Part I: A unified approach

In this note we develop tools and techniques for the treatment of anisotropic thermo-elasticity in two space dimensions. We use a diagonalisation technique to obtain properties of the characteristic roots of the full symbol of the system in order to prove $L^p$--$L^q$ decay rates for its solutions.

$L^p$--$L^q$ decay estimates for wave equations with monotone time-dependent dissipation

This expository article is intended to give an overview about recently achieved results on asymptotic properties of solutions to the Cauchy problem $u_{tt}-Δu+b(t)u_t =0,\qquad u(0,\cdot)=u_1,\quad \mathrm{D}_tu(0,\cdot)=u_2$ for a wave equation with time-dependent dissipation term. The results are based on structural properties of the Fourier multipliers representing its solution. The article explains the general philosophy behind the approach.
