A quadratic quasi-linear Klein-Gordon equation in two space dimensions (Q358598)

The paper deals with the equation \[ (\partial _t^2-\Delta +1)u=\sum_{| \alpha | \leq 1,| \beta | \leq 2}\lambda _{\alpha ,\beta }(\partial ^{\alpha}u)(\partial ^{\beta }u) \] in two space dimension, where \(\partial =(\partial _t,\partial _{x_1},\partial _{x_2}),\) \(\Delta =(\partial _{x_1},\partial _{x_2})\) and \(\lambda _{\alpha ,\beta }\in \mathbb{R}.\) Existence, uniqueness and asymptotic decay of the initial value problem to the above equation for small initial data are proved.
