On the nonlinear wave equation \(U_{tt}-B(t,\| U_{x}\|^{2})U_{xx}=f(x,t,U,U_{x},U_{t},\| U_{x}\|^{2})\) associated with the mixed nonhomogeneous conditions (Q1827133)

The authors consider the nonlinear wave equation of the title for \(x\in (0,1)\), \(0<t<T\), with the following boundary and initial conditions \[ u_x(0,t)- h_0u(0,t)= g_0(t),\quad u(1,t)= g_1(t), \] \[ u(x,0)= u_0(x),\quad u_t(x,0)= u_1(x), \] where \(B\), \(f\), \(g_0\), \(g_1\), \(u_0\), \(u_1\) are given functions. The existence of a local solution is proved by a standard compactness argument. Under some regularity assumptions on the data, an asymptotic expansion of order 3 in \(\varepsilon\) is obtained with right-hand side of the form \(f+\varepsilon f_1\) and \(B\) stands for \(B+\varepsilon B_1\), for \(\varepsilon\) sufficiently small.
