Abstract: We prove local well-posedness results for the semi-linear wave equation for data in Hgamma, 0<gamma<fracn−32(n−1), extending the previously known results for this problem. The improvement comes from an introduction of a two-scale Lebesgue space Xkr,p.


The author studies the Cauchy problem for the semilinear wave equation: \[ u_{tt}- \Delta u= F(u),\quad u(0, \cdot)=f \in H^\gamma ({\mathbb R}^n),\quad \partial_tu(0, \cdot)=g \in H^{\gamma -1} ({\mathbb R}^n), \] where \( n > 3\), and the nonlinear term satisfies \(F(0)=0\), \( |F(u)-F(v)|\leq |u-v|(|u|^{p-1}+|v|^{p-1})\). Under suitable conditions on \(\gamma, p, n\) the local well-posedness is proved for \( 0< \gamma < {n-3\over 2(n-1)}\).
