The Young measure method for a nonlinear variational wave equation (Q1852699)

This short paper collect in informal way a long list of results obtained by the authors on the solutions to the problem \[ u_{tt}- c(u)[c(u)u_x]_x =0,\quad t>0,\;x\in{\mathbb R}, \qquad (u,u_t)_{|t=0}=(u_0, u_1)\in (H^1, L^2). \] The main tool in obtaining these results is the Young measure method as introduced by \textit{P. Gérard} in [Commun. Partial Differ. Equations 16, 1761-1794 (1991; Zbl 0770.35001)]. The results presented here can be found in [Asymptotic Anal. 18, 307-327 (1998; Zbl 0935.35031), Acta Math. Sin., Engl. Ser. 15, 115-130 (1999; Zbl 0930.35142), Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 155, 49-83 (2000; Zbl 0982.35062), Commun. Partial Differ. Equations 26, 381-419 (2001; Zbl 0989.35112)].
