Bounded solutions to an energy subcritical non-linear wave equation on R^3

Abstract: In this work we consider an energy subcritical semi-linear wave equation (

3 < p < 5

) [ partial_t^2 u - Delta u = phi(x) |u|^{p-1} u, qquad (x,t) in {mathbb R}^3 imes {mathbb R} ] with initial data

(u, u_{t}) |_{t = 0} = (u_{0}, u_{1}) i n d o t H^{s_{p}} i m e s d o t H^{s_{p} - 1} ({m a t h b b R}^{3})

, where

s_{p} = 3 / 2 - 2 / (p - 1)

and the function

p h i : {m a t h b b R}^{3} i g h t a r r o w [- 1, 1]

is a radial continuous function with a limit at infinity. We prove that unless the elliptic equation

- D e l t a W = p h i (x) | W |^{p - 1} W

has a nonzero radial solution

W i n C^{2} ({m a t h b b R}^{3}) c a p d o t H^{s_{p}} ({m a t h b b R}^{3})

, any radial solution

u

with a finite uniform upper bound on the critical Sobolev norm

| (u (c d o t, t), p a r t i a l_{t} u (c d o t, t)) |_{d o t H^{s_{p}} i m e s d o t H^{s_{p}} ({m a t h b b R}^{3})}

for all

t

in the maximal lifespan must be a global solution in time and scatter.
