For a nonlinear hyperbolic equation defined in a thin domain we prove the existence of a periodic solution with respect to time both in the non-autonomous and autonomous cases. The methods employed are a combination of those developed by J. K. Hale and G. Raugel and the theory of the topological degree.

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in ${ℝ}^n$ with a smooth boundary $\Gamma$. In this work we study the existence of solutions for the following boundary value problem: $$\frac{{\partial }^{2}y}{\partial t^2}-M\left({\int }_{\Omega }{\left|\nabla y\right|}^2\mathrm{d}x\right)\Delta y-\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\Delta y=f\left(y\right)\text{in}Q=\Omega \times (0,\infty ),.1y=0\text{in}{\Sigma }_1={\Gamma }_1\times (0,\infty ),M\left({\int }_{\Omega }{\left|\nabla y\right|}^2\mathrm{d}x\right)\frac{\partial y}{\partial \nu }+\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\left(\frac{\partial y}{\partial \nu }\right)=g\text{in}{\Sigma }_0={\Gamma }_0\times (0,\infty ),y\left(0\right)=y_0,\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}\left(0\right)=y_1\text{in}\Omega ,\left(1\right)$$ where $M$ is a $C^1$-function such that $M\left(\lambda \right)\ge {\lambda }_0>0$ for every $\lambda \ge 0$ and $f\left(y\right)={\left|y\right|}^{\alpha }y$ for $\alpha \ge 0$.

Following the ideas of D. Serre and J. Shearer (1993), we prove in this paper the existence of a weak solution of the Cauchy problem for a given second order quasilinear hyperbolic equation.

We obtain a precise decay estimate of the energy of the solutions to the initial boundary value problem for the wave equation with nonlinear internal and boundary feedbacks. We show that a judicious choice of the feedbacks leads to fast energy decay.

B. Rzepecki in [5] examined the Darboux problem for the hyperbolic equation $z_{xy}=f(x,y,z,z_{xy})$ on the quarter-plane x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 via a fixed point theorem of B.N. Sadovskii [6]. The aim of this paper is to study the Picard problem for the hyperbolic equation $z_{xy}=f(x,y,z,z_x,z_{xy})$ using a method developed by A. Ambrosetti [1], K. Goebel and W. Rzymowski [2] and B. Rzepecki [5].

We consider a class of nonconvex and nonclosed hyperbolic differential inclusions and we prove the arcwise connectedness of the solution set.

In this paper, we first investigate the existence and uniqueness of solution for the Darboux problem with modified argument on both bounded and unbounded domains. Then, we derive different types of the Ulam stability for the proposed problem on these domains. Finally, we present some illustrative examples to support our results.
