Resolvent estimates and the decay of the solution to the wave equation with potential

Vladimir Georgiev (2001)

We prove a weighted L ∞ estimate for the solution to the linear wave equation with a smooth positive time independent potential. The proof is based on application of generalized Fourier transform for the perturbed Laplace operator and a finite dependence domain argument. We apply this estimate to prove the existence of global small data solution to supercritical semilinear wave equations with potential.

Global existence for a quasilinear wave equation outside of star-shaped domains

Hart F. Smith (2001)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

This talk describes joint work with Chris Sogge and Markus Keel, in which we establish a global existence theorem for null-type quasilinear wave equations in three space dimensions, where we impose Dirichlet conditions on a smooth, compact star-shaped obstacle 𝒦 ⊂ ℝ 3 . The key tool, following Christodoulou [1], is to use the Penrose compactification of Minkowski space. In the case under consideration, this reduces matters to a local existence theorem for a singular obstacle problem. Full details...
