The wave map problem. Small data critical regularity

Igor Rodnianski (2005-2006)

Séminaire Bourbaki

Similarity:

The paper provides a description of the wave map problem with a specific focus on the breakthrough work of T. Tao which showed that a wave map, a dynamic lorentzian analog of a harmonic map, from Minkowski space into a sphere with smooth initial data and a small critical Sobolev norm exists globally in time and remains smooth. When the dimension of the base Minkowski space is ( 2 + 1 ) , the critical norm coincides with energy, the only manifestly conserved quantity in this (lagrangian) theory....

Weak solutions to the initial boundary value problem for a semilinear wave equation with damping and source terms

Petronela Radu (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show local existence of solutions to the initial boundary value problem corresponding to a semilinear wave equation with interior damping and source terms. The difficulty in dealing with these two competitive forces comes from the fact that the source term is not a locally Lipschitz function from H¹(Ω) into L²(Ω) as typically assumed in the literature. The strategy behind the proof is based on the physics of the problem, so it does not use the damping present in the equation. The...

On bilinear estimates for wave equations

Sergiù Klainerman, Damiano Foschi (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

I will start with a short review of the classical restriction theorem for the sphere and Strichartz estimates for the wave equation. I then plan to give a detailed presentation of their recent generalizations in the form of “Bilinear Estimates”. In addition to the L 2 theory, which is now quite well developed, I plan to discuss a more general point of view concerning the L p theory. By investigating simple examples I will derive necessary conditions for such estimates to be true. I also...
