Nontrivial Global Solutions to Some Quasilinear Wave Equations in Three Space Dimensions
摘要
In this paper, we seek to construct nontrivial global solutions to some quasilinear wave equations in three space dimensions. We first present a conditional result on the construction of nontrivial global solutions to a general system of quasilinear wave equations. Assuming that a global solution to the geometric reduced system exists and satisfies several well-chosen pointwise estimates, we find a matching exact global solution to the original wave equations. Such a conditional result is then applied to two types of equations which are of great interest. One is John’s counterexamples
