The Cauchy Problem

Abstract This article studies the Cauchy problem for systems of semi-linear wave equations on $\mathbb{R}^{3+1}$ with nonlinear terms satisfying the null conditions. We construct future global-in-time classical solutions with arbitrarily large initial energy. The choice of the large Cauchy initial data is inspired by Christodoulou's characteristic initial data in his work [2] on formation of black holes. The main innovation of the current work is that we discovered a relaxed energy ansatz which allows us to prove decay-in-time-estimate. Therefore, the new estimates can also be applied in studying the Cauchy problem for Einstein equations.

The solution of the Cauchy problem for a hyperbolic partial differential equation leads to a linear combination of operators Tt of the formFor example, the solution of the initial value problemis given by u(x, t) = Ttf(x) wherePeral proved in [11] that Tt is bounded from LP(Rn) to LP(Rn) if and only ifFrom the homogeneity, the operator norm satisfies ‖Tt‖ ≦ Ct for all t > 0.

Global Existence Theorem

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”.

The Cauchy Problem

We undertake a systematic review of results proved in [26, 27, 30-32] concerning local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for certain systems of nonlinear wave equations, with minimal regularity assumptions on the initial data. Moreover we give a considerably simplified and unified treatment of these results and provide also complete proofs for large data. The paper is also intended as an introduction to and survey of current research in the very active area of nonlinear wave equations. The key ingredients throughout the survey are the use of the null structure of the equations we consider and, intimately tied to it, bilinear estimates.
