The Cauchy problem for a semilinear wave equation. II
L. V. Kapitanskii
Abstract:
The Cauchy problem for a semilinear hyperbolic equation of the form
$$
\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}u(t,x)+iB(t)\frac\partial{\partial t}u(t,x)+A(t)u(t,x)+f(t,x;u(t,x))=0\qquad{(1)}
$$
is studied. In (1):
$x$ runs through a smooth Riemannian manifold
$\mathfrak{M}$ without boundary,
$\mathrm{dim}\,\mathfrak{M}=n\geqslant3$,
$A(t)$ and
$B(t)$
are time-dependent pseudodifferential operators (on
$\mathfrak{M}$) of
order 2 and
$\leqslant1$, resp., with real principal symbols
$a_2(t,x,\xi)$
and
$b_1(t,x,\xi)$, and
$a_2(t,x,\xi)\geqslant\nu|\xi|^2$,
$\nu>0$, all
$t$ and
$(x,\xi)\in T^*\mathfrak{M}\setminus0$. Under certain assumptions on the nonlinearity
$f$
which, in the special case of differential operators
$A(t)$ and
$B(t)$
and
$f(t,x;z)=\lambda|z|^{\rho-1}z$, reduce to
$\lambda\geqslant0$
and
$1\leqslant\rho\leqslant(n+2)/(n-2)$ (the critical value
$\rho=(n+2)/(n-2)$ is allowed.),
we prove that for arbitrary initial data
$$
u(0)=\varphi\in H^1,\quad \frac\partial{\partial t}u(0)=\psi\in L_2\qquad{(2)}
$$
there exists and is unique the global in
$t$ weak solution
$u$
of the problem (1), (2).
