Example: Nonlinear Wave Equation in \(2+1\)
摘要
A class of nonlinear wave equations in \(2+1\) , of the form ( 3.49 ), which is sufficiently general, and also capable of analysis is the following vector-valued wave equation, \(\displaystyle \Box \phi + \nabla _\phi V = 0 \quad \Box \mathbf {v} + \nabla _{\mathbf {v}}V = 0 \,, \) where \(\Box \) is the d’Alembertian \(\displaystyle \Box := \frac {\partial ^2\ }{\partial t^2} -\frac {\partial ^2\ }{\partial x^2} -\frac {\partial ^2\ }{\partial y^2}\,, \) and \(V(\phi ,\mathbf {v})\) is a given superquadratic potential.
