In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for semi-linear wave equations with structural damping term [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a constant. As is now well known, the linear principal part brings both the diffusion phenomenon and the regularity loss of solutions. This implies that, for the nonlinear problems, the choice of solution spaces plays an important role to obtain the global solutions with the sharp decay properties in time. Our main purpose in this paper is to prove the global (in time) existence of solutions for the small data and their decay properties for the supercritical nonlinearities.

We are interested in the inverse scattering problem for semi-linear wave equations in one dimension. Assuming null conditions, we prove that small data lead to global existence of solutions to [Formula: see text]-dimensional semi-linear wave equations. This result allows us to construct the scattering fields and their corresponding weighted Sobolev spaces at the infinities. Finally, we prove that the scattering operator not only describes the scattering behavior of the solution but also uniquely determines the solution. The key ingredient of our proof is the same strategy proposed by Le Floch and LeFloch [On the global evolution of self-gravitating matter. Nonlinear interactions in Gowdy symmetry, Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 233 (2019) 45–86] as well as Luli et al. [On one-dimension semi-linear wave equations with null conditions, Adv. Math. 329 (2018) 174–188] to make full use of the null structure and the weighted energy estimates.

Abstract We show global existence of small solutions to the Cauchy problem for a system of quasi-linear wave equations in three space dimensions. The feature of the system lies in that it satisfies the weak null condition, though we permit the presence of some quadratic nonlinear terms which do not satisfy the null condition. Due to the presence of such quadratic terms, the standard argument no longer works for the proof of global existence. To get over this difficulty, we extend the ghost weight method of Alinhac so that it works for the system under consideration. The original theorem of Alinhac for the scalar unknowns is also refined.

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.

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.
