This article studies the L2-norm of the boundary controls for the one dimensional linear wave equation with a space variable potential a = a(x). It is known these controls depend on a and their norms may increase exponentially with ||a||L∞. Our aim is to make a deeper study of this dependence in correlation with the properties of the initial data. The main result of the paper shows that the minimal L2−norm controls are uniformly bounded with respect to the potential a, if the initial data have only sufficiently high eigenmodes.

AbstractSupersymmetric microstate geometries were recently conjectured (Eperon et al. in JHEP 10:031, 2016. 10.1007/JHEP10(2016)031) to be nonlinearly unstable due to numerical and heuristic evidence, based on the existence of very slowly decaying solutions to the linear wave equation on these backgrounds. In this paper, we give a thorough mathematical treatment of the linear wave equation on both two- and three-charge supersymmetric microstate geometries, finding a number of surprising results. In both cases, we prove that solutions to the wave equation have uniformly bounded local energy, despite the fact that three-charge microstates possess an ergoregion; these geometries therefore avoid Friedman’s “ergosphere instability” (Friedman in Commun Math Phys 63(3):243–255, 1978). In fact, in the three-charge case we are able to construct solutions to the wave equation with local energy that neither grows nor decays, although these data must have non-trivial dependence on the Kaluza–Klein coordinate. In the two-charge case, we construct quasimodes and use these to bound the uniform decay rate, showing that the only possible uniform decay statements on these backgrounds have very slow decay rates. We find that these decay rates are sublogarithmic, verifying the numerical results of Eperon et al. (2016). The same construction can be made in the three-charge case, and in both cases the data for the quasimodes can be chosen to have trivial dependence on the Kaluza–Klein coordinates.

In this paper, some known and novel properties of the Cauchy and signaling problems for the one-dimensional time-fractional diffusion-wave equation with the Caputo fractional derivative of order β,1≤β≤2 are investigated. In particular, their response to a localized disturbance of the initial data is studied. It is known that, whereas the diffusion equation describes a process where the disturbance spreads infinitely fast, the propagation velocity of the disturbance is a constant for the wave equation. We show that the time-fractional diffusion-wave equation interpolates between these two different responses in the sense that the propagation velocities of the maximum points, centers of gravity, and medians of the fundamental solutions to both the Cauchy and the signaling problems are all finite. On the other hand, the disturbance spreads infinitely fast and the time-fractional diffusion-wave equation is nonrelativistic like the classical diffusion equation. In this paper, the maximum locations, the centers of gravity, and the medians of the fundamental solution to the Cauchy and signaling problems and their propagation velocities are described analytically and calculated numerically. The obtained results for the Cauchy and the signaling problems are interpreted and compared to each other.

In this paper, we study the Strichartz-type estimates of the solution for the linear wave equation with inverse square potential. Assuming the initial data possesses additional angular regularity, especially the radial initial data, the range of admissible pairs is improved. As an application, we show the global well-posedness of the semi-linear wave equation with inverse-square potential [Formula: see text] for power p being in some regime when the initial data are radial. This result extends the well-posedness result in Planchon, Stalker, and Tahvildar-Zadeh.
