The FBI transform, operators with nonsmooth coefficients and the nonlinear wave equation

Daniel Tataru (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

The aim of this work is threefold. First we set up a calculus for partial differential operators with nonsmooth coefficients which is based on the FBI (Fourier-Bros-Iagolnitzer) transform. Then, using this calculus, we prove a weaker version of the Strichartz estimates for second order hyperbolic equations with nonsmooth coefficients. Finally, we apply these new Strichartz estimates to second order nonlinear hyperbolic equations and improve the local theory, i.e. prove local well-posedness for initial...

The geometrical quantity in damped wave equations on a square

Pascal Hébrard, Emmanuel Humbert (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The energy in a square membrane Ω subject to constant viscous damping on a subset ω Ω decays exponentially in time as soon as ω satisfies a geometrical condition known as the “Bardos-Lebeau-Rauch” condition. The rate τ ( ω ) of this decay satisfies τ ( ω ) = 2 min ( - μ ( ω ) , g ( ω ) ) (see Lebeau [Math. Phys. Stud.19 (1996) 73–109]). Here μ ( ω ) denotes the spectral abscissa of the damped wave equation operator and  g ( ω ) is a number called the geometrical quantity of ω and defined as follows. A ray in Ω is the trajectory generated by the free motion...
