摘要

In this paper, we study the long-time existence result for small data solutions of quasilinear wave equations exterior to star-shaped regions in two space dimensions. The key novelty is that we establish a Morawetz type energy estimate for the perturbed inhomogeneous wave equation in the exterior domain, which yields \(t^{-\frac{1}{2}}\) t - 1 2 decay inside the cone. In addition, two new weighted \(L^2\) L 2 product estimates are established to produce \(t^{-\frac{1}{2}}\) t - 1 2 decay close to the cone. We then show that the existence lifespan \(T_\varepsilon \) T ε for the quasilinear wave equations with general quadratic nonlinearity satisfies \(\begin{aligned} \varepsilon ^2T_{\varepsilon }\ln ^3T_{\varepsilon }=A, \end{aligned}\) ε 2 T ε ln 3 T ε = A , for some fixed positive constant A, which is almost sharp (with some logarithmic loss) comparing to the known result of the corresponding Cauchy problem.
