On geometry of fronts in wave propagations

Susumu Tanabé (1999)

Banach Center Publications

We give a geometric descriptions of (wave) fronts in wave propagation processes. Concrete form of defining function of wave front issued from initial algebraic variety is obtained by the aid of Gauss-Manin systems associated with certain complete intersection singularities. In the case of propagations on the plane, we get restrictions on types of possible cusps that can appear on the wave front.

On global solutions to a defocusing semi-linear wave equation.

Isabelle Gallagher, Fabrice Planchon (2003)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We prove that the 3D cubic defocusing semi-linear wave equation is globally well-posed for data in the Sobolev space Hs where s > 3/4. This result was obtained in [11] following Bourgain's method ([3]). We present here a different and somewhat simpler argument, inspired by previous work on the Navier-Stokes equations ([4, 7]).

On hyperbolic partial differential equations in Banach spaces

Bogdan Rzepecki (1986)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Viene dimostrata l'esistenza di soluzioni del problema di Darboux per l'equazione iperbolica z x y ′′ = f ( x , y , z , Z x , z y ) sul planiquarto x 0 , y 0 . Qui, f è una funzione continua, con valori in uno spazio Banach che soddisfano alcune condizioni di regolarità espresse in termini della misura di non-compattezza α .

On Kakeya–Nikodym averages, L p -norms and lower bounds for nodal sets of eigenfunctions in higher dimensions

Matthew D. Blair, Christopher D. Sogge (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We extend a result of the second author [27, Theorem 1.1] to dimensions d 3 which relates the size of L p -norms of eigenfunctions for 2 < p < 2 ( d + 1 ) / d - 1 to the amount of L 2 -mass in shrinking tubes about unit-length geodesics. The proof uses bilinear oscillatory integral estimates of Lee [22] and a variable coefficient variant of an " ϵ removal lemma" of Tao and Vargas [35]. We also use Hörmander’s [20] L 2 oscillatory integral theorem and the Cartan–Hadamard theorem to show that, under the assumption of nonpositive curvature,...

On Lars Hörmander’s remark on the characteristic Cauchy problem

Jean-Philippe Nicolas (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We extend the results of a work by L. Hörmander [9] concerning the resolution of the characteristic Cauchy problem for second order wave equations with regular first order potentials. The geometrical background of this work was a spatially compact spacetime with smooth metric. The initial data surface was spacelike or null at each point and merely Lipschitz. We lower the regularity hypotheses on the metric and potential and obtain similar results. The Cauchy problem for a spacelike initial data...
