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 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.

Corner Conditions

The study of Einstein equations leads naturally to Cauchy problems with initial data on hypersurfaces which closely resemble hyperboloids in Minkowski space-time, and with initial data with polyhomogeneous asymptotics, that is, with asymptotic expansions in terms of powers of ln r and inverse powers of r. Such expansions also arise in the conformal method for analysing wave equations in odd space-time dimension. In recent work it has been shown that for non-linear wave equations, or for wave maps, polyhomogeneous initial data lead to solutions which are also polyhomogeneous provided that an infinite hierarchy of corner conditions holds. In this paper we show that the result is true regardless of corner conditions.

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for the 2D inviscid Boussinesq equations with N being the buoyancy frequency. It is proved that for general initial data u 0 ∈ H s with s > 3 , the life span of the classical solutions satisfies T > C ln     N 3 / 4 .

We prove propagation of weighted Sobolev regularity for solutions of the hyperboloidal Cauchy problem for a class of quasi-linear symmetric hyperbolic systems, under structure conditions compatible with the Einstein–Maxwell equations in space-time dimensions n + 1 ≥ 7. Similarly we prove propagation of polyhomogeneity in dimensions n + 1 ≥ 9. As a byproduct we obtain, in those last dimensions, polyhomogeneity at null infinity of small data solutions of vacuum Einstein, or Einstein–Maxwell equations evolving out of initial data which are stationary outside of a ball.

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”.
