Propagation, reflection and refraction of singularities for a hyperbolic transmission problem in two adjacent angular regions
Motivated by the study of resolvent estimates in the presence of trapping, we prove a semiclassical propagation theorem in a neighborhood of a compact invariant subset of the bicharacteristic flow which is isolated in a suitable sense. Examples include a global trapped set and a single isolated periodic trajectory. This is applied to obtain microlocal resolvent estimates with no loss compared to the nontrapping setting.
In this paper we consider a nonlinear hyperbolic boundary value problem. We show that this problem admits weak solutions by using a lifting result for pseudomonotone operators and a surjectivity result concerning coercive and monotone operators.
