A note on a theorem of Jörgens (Q1346348): Difference between revisions

The author proves the existence of global smooth solutions on \([0,T] \times \mathbb{R}^ n\) \((T>0)\) to the Cauchy problem for the following semilinear wave equation \[ u_{tt}- a(t) \Delta u=-| u|^{p-1} u, \qquad u(0,x)= u_ 0(x), \quad u_ t (0,x)= u_ 1(x), \] where \(u_ 0, u_ 1\in C_ 0^ \infty (\mathbb{R}^ 3)\), under the assumption that \(a(t)\) is a nonnegative and analytic function defined in \([0,T]\) and its zeroes have order not greater than \(2\lambda\) \((\lambda= 0,1, 2,\dots)\) such that \(1<p< (3\lambda+5)/ (3\lambda +1)\). The nonlinear term \(| u|^{p-1} u\) can be extended to a slightly more general form.
