On a global classical solution of a quasilinear hyperbolic equation (Q581754): Difference between revisions

The authors obtain the existence and uniqueness of global classical solutions of the initial value problem \[ (IVP)\quad u_{tt}-\Delta u- M(\int_{\Omega}| \nabla u|^ 2dx)\Delta u_{tt}=f \] \[ u(0,x)=u_ 0(x);\quad u_ t(0,x)=u_ 1(x)\quad for\quad x\in \Omega, \] \[ u(t,x)=0\quad for\quad x\in \partial \Omega \] \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(R^ n.\) The result is as follows: Suppose \(u_ 0,u_ 1\in V_ m\), (m\(\geq 2)\); \(f,f'\in C(0,T;V_{m-1})\) then there exists a unique solution to (IVP) in the class \(u\in C^ 2(0,T;v_ m).\) Here \(V_ m(\Omega)\) is the closure of V(\(\Omega)\) of al linear combinations of eigenfunctions of -\(\Delta\) by the standard norm.
