Half-space Fourier transform in application to non-linear hyperbolic initial-boundary-value problem: low regularity solutions (Q4369729)

The author studies the following system of Dirichlet initial-boundary value problems: \[ \partial^2_t u^k- \Delta u^k=N_k (t,x,u,Du);\;t>t_0,\;x_3>0, \] \[ \partial^\ell_t u^k(t_0)= u^k_\ell \text{ on }\mathbb{R}^3;\;\ell=0,1, \quad u^k(t) =0\text{ on } \{t>t_0, x_3=0\}. \] for \(k=1, \dots,n\). The nonlinearity \((N_1, \dots, N_n)\) satisfies a structural null-condition with respect to \(Du\). The main purpose of this paper is to prove the existence and uniqueness of a low regularity solution on a given time interval. Under a smallness condition on the initial data, a simple sequential approximation method is applied.
