Construction of periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions by the Lindstedt series method (Q1887188): Difference between revisions

The existence of periodic solutions is shown for nonlinear wave equations (like the Klein-Gordon and sine-Gordon equations) of the form \(u_{tt}-u_{xx}+\mu u=f(u)\) with Dirichlet boundary value conditions, where \(\mu\) is a positive real number and \(f\) is odd and analytic. A renormalized Lindstedt series is used and renormalized group methods are applied to show their convergence.
