Long-time existence for semi-linear beam equations on irrational tori (Q2048673)

The semi-linear beam equation on the \(d\) dimensional irrational torus with smooth nonlinearity of order \(n-1\) with \(n \ge 3\) and \(d \ge 2\) has been studied and the lifespan of solutions is obtained for some small initial datum, which improves the time given by the local existence theory. The result is obtained by combining a Birkhoff normal form step and a modified energy step.
