Scattering of solutions to the defocusing energy subcritical semi-linear wave equation in 3D

Abstract: In this paper we consider a semi-linear, energy sub-critical, defocusing wave equation

p a r t i a l_{t}^{2} u - D e l t a u = - | u |^{p - 1} u

in the 3-dimensional space with

p i n [3, 5)

. We prove that if initial data

(u_{0}, u_{1})

are radial so that

| a b l a u_{0} |_{L^{2} ({m a t h b b R}^{3}; d m u)}, | u_{1} |_{L^{2} ({m a t h b b R}^{3}; d m u)} l e q i n f t y

, where

d m u = (| x | + 1)^{1 + 2 v a r e p s i l o n}

with

v a r e p s i l o n > 0

, then the corresponding solution

u

must exist for all time

t i n m a t h b b R

and scatter. The key ingredients of the proof include a transformation

m a t h b f T

so that

v = m a t h b f T u

solves the equation

v_{a u a u} - D e l t a_{y} v = - l e f t (f r a c | y | s i n h | y | i g h t)^{p - 1} e^{- (p - 3) a u} | v |^{p - 1} v

with a finite energy, and a couple of global space-time integral estimates regarding a solution

v

as above.
