Abstract: H"ormander proved global existence of solutions for sufficiently small initial data for scalar wave equations in $(1+4)-$dimensions of the form $Boxu=Q(u,u^{\prime },u^{″})$ where $Q$ vanishes to second order and $(partia{l}_u^{2}Q)(0,0,0)=0$. Without the latter condition, only almost global existence may be guaranteed. The first author and Sogge considered the analog exterior to a star-shaped obstacle. Both results relied on writing the lowest order terms $upartia{l}_{a}lphau=frac12partia{l}_{a}lpha{u}^2$ and as such do not immediately generalize to systems. The current study remedies such and extends both results to the case of multiple speed systems.

Review text

The authors consider the Cauchy problem and exterior domain problem for multiple-speeds systems of quasilinear wave equations in four space dimensions. They show that, if the nonlinerity does not contain the quadaratic terms of the solution itself, then the classical solution must be global for small initial data. Such result was first established by Hörmander for the Cauchy problem of scalar wave equations. But the method cannot be applied to the case of multiple-speeds system. The authors develop some robust approach to extend Hörmander's result to this case.
