On one-dimension quasilinear wave equations with null conditions

Abstract

In this paper, we show that one-dimension systems of quasilinear wave equations with null conditions admit global classical solutions for small initial data. This result extends Luli, Yang and Yu's seminal work [G. Luli, S. Yang, P. Yu, On one-dimension semi-linear wave equations with null conditions, Adv. Math.329 (2018) 174-188] from the semilinear case to the quasilinear case. Furthermore, we also prove that the global solution is asymptotically free in the energy sense. In order to achieve these goals, we will employ Luli, Yang and Yu's weighted energy estimates with positive weights, introduce some space-time weighted energy estimates and pay some special attentions to the highest order energies, then use some suitable bootstrap process to close the argument.
