Linear periodic boundary-value problem for a second-order hyperbolic equation. II. Quasilinear problem (Q4705201)

The paper deals with a linear periodic boundary value problem of the following form \[ u_{tt}-a^{2} u_{xx} = g(x,t), \qquad (x,t)\in \mathbb{R}, \tag{1} \] \[ u(0,t) = u(\pi,t) = 0, \qquad t\in\mathbb{R}, \tag{2} \] \[ u(x,t+T) = u(x,t), \qquad (x,t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2}. \tag{3} \] The exact solutions of the problem (1)--(3) are given in the corresponding functional spaces associated with the problem. The author also investigates a nonlinear hyperbolic equation of the form \[ u_{tt} - u_{xx} = F[u,u_{t}, u_{x}], \tag{4} \] where \( F[u,u_{t},u_{x}] \) is a nonlinear operator mapping a smooth function into continuous scalar one. A theorem on sufficient conditions of existence and uniqueness of a smooth solution to problem (4), (2), (3) is given. [For part I see Ukr. Math. J. 50, 1755-1764 (1998); translation from Ukr. Mat.
