Abstract: For the critical focusing wave equation Box u = u^5 on R^{3+1} in the radial case, we prove the existence of type II blow up solutions with scaling parameter lambda(t) = t^{-1-

u} for all u >0. This extends the previous work by the authors and Tataru where the condition

u> 1/2 had been imposed, and gives the optimal range of polynomial blow up rates in light of recent work by Duyckaerts, Kenig and Merle.

Review text

In this article is considered the critical focusing wave equation \[ u_{tt}-\Delta u=u^5 \text{ on }\mathbb R^{3+1}, \] in the radial case.The authors prove that there exists an energy class solution \(u(t, x)\) that has regularity \(H^{1+\frac{\nu}{2}-}\)of the form \(u(t, x)=W_{\lambda(t)}(x)+w(t, x)+o_{\dot{H}^1}(1)\), with \(\lambda(t)=t^{-1-\nu}\), \(W_{\lambda}=\lambda^{1\over 2}W(\lambda x)\), \(W(x)=\left(1+\frac{|x|^2}{3}\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\), \(w(t, x)\in {\dot H}^1\). Here \(\nu>0\) is given.
