Following Penrose's construction of space-time infinity by means of a conformal construction, in which null-infinity is a three-dimensional domain, whereas time- and space-infinities are points, Geroch has recently endowed space-infinity with a somewhat richer structure. An approach that might work with a large class of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds is to induce a topology on the set of all geodesics (whether complete or incomplete) by subjecting their Cauchy data to (small) displacements in space-time and Lorentz rotations, and to group the geodesics all of whose neighborhoods intersect into equivalence classes. The quotient space of geodesics over equivalence classes is to represent infinity. In the case of Minkowski, null-infinity has the usual structure, but I0, I+, and I- each become three-dimensional as well.

We consider the strategy of realizing the solution of a Cauchy problem (CP) with radial data as a limit of radial solutions to initial-boundary value problems posed on the exterior of vanishing balls centered at the origin. The goal is to gauge the effectiveness of this approach in a simple, concrete setting: the three-dimensional (3d), linear wave equation [Formula: see text] with radial Cauchy data [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. We are primarily interested in this as a model situation for other, possibly nonlinear, equations where neither formulae nor abstract existence results are available for the radial symmetric CP. In treating the 3d wave equation, we therefore insist on robust arguments based on energy methods and strong convergence. (In particular, this work does not address what can be established via solution formulae.) Our findings for the 3d wave equation show that while one can obtain existence of radial Cauchy solutions via exterior solutions, one should not expect such results to be optimal. The standard existence result for the linear wave equation guarantees a unique solution in [Formula: see text] whenever [Formula: see text]. However, within the constrained framework outlined above, we obtain strictly lower regularity for solutions obtained as limits of exterior solutions. We also show that external Neumann solutions yield better regularity than external Dirichlet solutions. Specifically, for Cauchy data in [Formula: see text], we obtain [Formula: see text]-solutions via exterior Neumann solutions, and only [Formula: see text]-solutions via exterior Dirichlet solutions.

В работе изучается задача граничного управления для вырождающегося гиперболического уравнения второго порядка. Установлены необходимые и достаточные условия управляемости данными Коши за минимальный промежуток времени. Граничные управления предъявлены в явном аналитическом виде. The paper studies the boundary control problem for a degenerate second-order hyperbolic equation. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for minimal time controllability over Cauchy data. Boundary controls are presented in an explicit analytical form.

If L(t, x, ∂t, ∂x) is a linear hyperbolic system of partial differential operators for which local uniqueness in the Cauchy problem at spacelike hypersurfaces is known, we find nearly optimal domains of determinacy of open sets Ω0⊂ {t = 0}. The frozen constant coefficient operators [Formula: see text] determine local convex propagation cones, [Formula: see text]. Influence curves are curves whose tangent always lies in these cones. We prove that the set of points Ω which cannot be reached by influence curves beginning in the exterior of Ω0is a domain of determinacy in the sense that solutions of Lu = 0 whose Cauchy data vanish in Ω0must vanish in Ω. We prove that Ω is swept out by continuous spacelike deformations of Ω0and is also the set described by maximal solutions of a natural Hamilton–Jacobi equation (HJE). The HJE provides a method for computing approximate domains and is also the bridge from the raylike description using influence curves to that depending on spacelike deformations. The deformations are obtained from level surfaces of mollified solutions of HJEs.

In this chapter we review what is known about dynamical black hole-solutions of Einstein equations. We discuss the Robinson–Trautman black holes, with or without a cosmological constant. We review the Cauchy-data approach to the construction of black-hole spacetimes. We propose some alternative approaches to a meaningful definition of black hole in a dynamical spacetime, and we review the nonlinear stability results for black-hole solutions of vacuum Einstein equations.

AbstractWe propose a new moving pseudo-boundary method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for the determination of the boundary of a three-dimensional void (rigid inclusion or cavity) within a conducting homogeneous host medium from overdetermined Cauchy data on the accessible exterior boundary. The algorithm for imaging the interior of the medium also makes use of radial spherical parametrization of the unknown star-shaped void and its centre in three dimensions. We also include the contraction and dilation factors in selecting the fictitious surfaces where the MFS sources are to be positioned in the set of unknowns in the resulting regularized nonlinear least-squares minimization. The feasibility of this new method is illustrated in several numerical examples.

This paper may be regarded as a sequel to (1), where the initial value or Cauchy problem for harmonic tensors on a normal hyperbolic Riemann space was treated. The mixed problems to be studied here involve boundary conditions on a timelike boundary surface in addition to the Cauchy data on a spacelike initial manifold. The components of a harmonic tensor satisfy a system of wave equations with similar principal part, and we assign two initial conditions and one boundary condition for each component.

AbstractWe prove a global uniqueness theorem of reconstruction of a matrix-potential {a(x,t)} of one-dimensional wave equation {\square u+au=0}, {x>0,t>0}, {\square=\partial_{t}^{2}-\partial_{x}^{2}} with zero Cauchy data for {t=0} and given Cauchy data for {x=0}, {u(0,t)=0}, {u_{x}(0,t)=g(t)}. Here {u,a,f}, and g are {n\times n} smooth real matrices, {\det(f(0))\neq 0}, and the matrix {\partial_{t}a} is known.
