The nonrelativistic limit of the linear wave equation for zero and unity spin bosons of mass m in the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau representation is investigated by means of a unitary transformation, analogous to the Foldy–Wouthuysen canonical transformation for a relativistic electron. The interacting case is also analyzed, by considering a power series expansion of the transformed Hamiltonian, thus demonstrating that all features of particle dynamics can be recovered if corrections of order 1/m2 are taken into account through a recursive iteration procedure.

Abstract We prove that solutions to the quintic semilinear wave equation with variable coefficients in ${{\mathbb {R}}}^{1+3}$ scatter to a solution to the corresponding linear wave equation. The coefficients are small and decay as $|x|\to \infty$ , but are allowed to be time dependent. The proof uses local energy decay estimates to establish the decay of the $L^{6}$ norm of the solution as $t\to \infty$ .

SynopsisLarge time behaviour of solutions to a damped quasi-linear wave equation are studied. Conditions are obtained which guarantee the global existence of a classical solution. The asymptotic behaviour of this solution is studied in the case of a unique equilibrium solution and in the case of multiple equilibria. The results are applied to various special examples.

Abstract We consider an initial-boundary value problem for the classical linear wave equation, where mixed boundary conditions of Dirichlet and Neumann/Robin type are enforced at the endpoints of a bounded interval. First, by a careful application of the method of characteristics, we derive a closed-form representation of the solution for an impulsive Dirichlet data at the left endpoint, and valid for either a Neumann or a Robin data at the right endpoint. Then we devise a reconstruction procedure for identifying both the interval length and the Robin parameter. We provide a corresponding stability result and verify numerically its performance moving from a finite element discretization.
