Scattering for Semilinear Wave Equations with Small Data in Three Space Dimensions.
Large time behavior of solutions to the generalized damped wave equation for is studied. First, we consider the linear nonhomogeneous equation, i.e. with F = F(x,t) independent of u. We impose conditions on the operators A and B, on F, as well as on the initial data which lead to the selfsimilar large time asymptotics of solutions. Next, this abstract result is applied to the equation where , , and the nonlinear term is either or . In this case, the asymptotic profile of solutions is given...
We consider a family of conforming finite element schemes with piecewise polynomial space of degree in space for solving the wave equation, as a model for second order hyperbolic equations. The discretization in time is performed using the Newmark method. A new a priori estimate is proved. Thanks to this new a priori estimate, it is proved that the convergence order of the error is in the discrete norms of and , where and are the mesh size of the spatial and temporal discretization, respectively....
