Isolatedness of characteristic points at blow-up for a semilinear wave equation in one space dimension

Frank Merle, Hatem Zaag (2009/2010)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

We consider the semilinear wave equation with power nonlinearity in one space dimension. We first show the existence of a blow-up solution with a characteristic point. Then, we consider an arbitrary blow-up solution u ( x , t ) , the graph x T ( x ) of its blow-up points and 𝒮 the set of all characteristic points and show that 𝒮 is locally finite. Finally, given x 0 𝒮 , we show that in selfsimilar variables, the solution decomposes into a decoupled sum of (at least two) solitons, with alternate signs and that T ( x ) forms a...
