Abstract
SynopsisIn this paper we consider the global existence (in time) of the Cauchy problem of the semilinear wave equation utt – Δu = F(u, Du), x ∊ Rn, t > 0. When the smooth function F(u, Du) = O((|u| + |Du|)k+1) in a small neighbourhood of the origin and the space dimension n > ½ + 2/k + (1 + (4/k)2)½/2, a unique global solution is obtained under suitable assumptions on initial data. The method used here is associated with the Lorentz invariance of the wave equation and an improved Lp–Lq decay estimate for solutions of the homogeneous wave equation. Similar results can be extended to the case of “fully nonlinear wave equations”.
