SynopsisThe interior initial-boundary value problem for the wave equation in m ≧ 1 space dimension is considered for vanishing boundary values. Certain regularity, dependent on m, is required for the solution and additionalboundary conditions, the number of which being also dependent on m, are imposed on the given right hand side. Emphazising the case m = 3, the Rothe method is applied after the problem has been rewritten as a hyperbolic first order evolution problem for m + 1 unknown functions. The sequence of discrete solutions obtained is shown to be discretely convergent to the continuous solution in the sense of uniform convergence if the solution of the continuous problem is assumed to exist. A priori estimates are derived both for the discrete solutions and the continuous solution.

This paper deals with an initial boundary value problem with an integral condition for the two-dimensional diffusion equation. Thanks to an appropriate transformation, the study of the given problem is reduced to that of a one-dimensional problem. Existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence upon data of a weak solution of this latter are proved by means of the Rothe method. Besides, convergence and an error estimate for a semidiscrete approximation are obtained.

We introduce a class of logarithmic wave equation. We study the global existence of week solution for this class of equation. We deal with the initial boundary value problem of this class. Using the Galerkin method and the Gross logarithmic Sobolev inequality we establish the main theorem of existence of week solution for this class of equation arising from Q-Ball Dynamic in particular.

We study an initial-boundary value problem for a fractional wave equation of time distributed-order with a nonlinear source term. The coefficients of the second order differential operator are dependent on the spatial and time variables. We show the existence of a unique weak solution to the problem under low regularity assumptions on the data, which includes weakly singular solutions in the class of admissible problems. A similar result holds true for the fractional wave equation with Caputo fractional derivative.

We are concerned in this paper with the initial boundary value problem for a quasilinear viscoelastic wave equation which is subject to a nonlinear action, to a nonlinear frictional damping, and to a Kelvin-Voigt damping, simultaneously. By utilizing a carefully chosen Lyapunov functional, we establish first by the celebrated convexity argument a finite time blow-up criterion for the initial boundary value problem in question; we prove second by an a priori estimate argument that some solutions to the problem exists globally if the nonlinearity is “weaker,” in a certain sense, than the frictional damping, and if the viscoelastic damping is sufficiently strong.
