Exemples d’instabilités pour des équations d’ondes non linéaires

Guy Métivier

Séminaire Bourbaki

Le but de l’exposé est de donner un guide de lecture pour un article de Gilles Lebeau où il est montré que le problème de Cauchy pour l’équation d’onde surcritique ( t 2 - Δ x ) u + u p = 0 est mal posé au sens de Hadamard dans l’espace d’énergie, pour p 7 en dimension 3. La preuve repose sur des constructions d’optique géométrique et des analyses d’instabilité dans des régimes fortement non linéaires. On donnera les étapes de l’analyse en essayant de les situer dans leur contexte plus général : construction de solutions...

L 2 well-posed Cauchy problems and symmetrizability of first order systems

Guy Métivier — 2014

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

The Cauchy problem for first order system L ( t , x , t , x ) is known to be well-posed in L 2 when it admits a microlocal symmetrizer S ( t , x , ξ ) which is smooth in ξ and Lipschitz continuous in ( t , x ) . This paper contains three main results. First we show that a Lipschitz smoothness globally in ( t , x , ξ ) is sufficient. Second, we show that the existence of symmetrizers with a given smoothness is equivalent to the existence of having the same smoothness. This notion was first introduced in []. This is the key point to prove the third result...

The Cauchy problem for wave equations with non Lipschitz coefficients; Application to continuation of solutions of some nonlinear wave equations

Ferruccio ColombiniGuy Métivier — 2008

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

In this paper we study the Cauchy problem for second order strictly hyperbolic operators of the form L u : = j , k = 0 n y j ( a j , k y k u ) + j = 0 n { b j y j u + y j ( c j u ) } + d u = f , when the coefficients of the principal part are not Lipschitz continuous, but only “Log-Lipschitz” with respect to all the variables. This class of equation is invariant under changes of variables and therefore suitable for a local analysis. In particular, we show local existence, local uniqueness and finite speed of propagation for the noncharacteristic Cauchy problem. This provides an invariant...

Existence of quasilinear relaxation shock profiles in systems with characteristic velocities

Guy MétivierBenjamin TexierKevin Zumbrun — 2012

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We revisit the existence problem for shock profiles in quasilinear relaxation systems in the case that the velocity is a characteristic mode, implying that the profile ODE is degenerate. Our result states existence, with sharp rates of decay and distance from the Chapman–Enskog approximation, of small-amplitude quasilinear relaxation shocks. Our method of analysis follows the general approach used by Métivier and Zumbrun in the semilinear case, based on Chapman–Enskog expansion and the macro–micro...
