Parameteric resonance and nonexistence of the global solution to nonlinear wave equations (Q5944920)

The author investigates nonlinear wave equations of the form \(u_{tt}-\triangle u=f(u_t,\nabla_xu,\nabla_xu_t,\nabla_x^2u)\) under initial data \(u(0,x)=u_0(x)\), \(u_t(0,x)=u_1(x)\), where \(\triangle \) is the Laplace operator in \(\mathbb R\)\(^n\), \(\nabla_xu=(\partial_1u,\dots ,\partial_nu)\), \(x\in\mathbb R\)\(^n\), \(t\in\mathbb R\). It is given an example \(u_{tt}-b^2(t)\triangle u+(u_t)^2-b^2(t)\sum_{j=1}^n(u_{x_j})^2=0\) in \(\mathbb R\)\(\times \mathbb R\)\(^n\) (\(b(t)\) is a 1-periodic, nonconstant, smooth and positive function). The influence of the dependence of the coefficients of this equation on the time variable, and in particular oscillations in time, on a global existence of the solution to the nonlinear hyperbolic equation is investigated. Namely for arbitrary small initial data a blowing up solution is constructed. The main result is that for some initial data which satisfy NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \|u_1\|_{s,2}+\|\nabla u_0\|_{s,2}+\|u_1\|_{s,p}+\|\nabla u_0\|_{s,p}<\delta , NEWLINE\]NEWLINE \(C^2(\mathbb R\)\(_+\times \)\(\mathbb R\)\(^n)\) -- solution does not exist. Here \(s\) and \(p\) are properly taken having in mind the theory of Sobolev spaces. The existence of blow-up solutions is discussed as well.
