We investigate the Cauchy problem for a hydrodynamic model for semiconductors. An existence theorem of global weak solutions with large initial data is obtained by using the fractional step Lax—Friedrichs scheme and Godounov scheme.

We consider the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation with time-dependent damping and a power-type nonlinearity |u|ρ. For some large initial data, we will show that the solution to the damped wave equation will blow up within a finite time. Moreover, we can show the upper bound of the life-span of the solution.

The existence of global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem for a generalized Camassa-Holm equation with a dissipative term is investigated in the spaceC([0,∞)×R)∩L∞([0,∞);H1(R))provided that its initial valueu0(x)belongs to the spaceH1(R). A one-sided super bound estimate and a space-time higher-norm estimate on the first-order derivatives of the solution with respect to the space variable are derived.

In this paper we prove an existence theorem of global smooth solutions for the Cauchy problem of a class of quasilinear hyperbolic systems with nonlinear dissipative terms under the assumption that only the C0-norm of the initial data is sufficiently small, while the C1-norm of the initial data can be large. The analysis is based on a priori estimates, which are obtained by a generalised Lax transformation.
