By using the Strichartz esitmate and Picard iteration, we prove the subcritical(critical in some cases) global solution in $C_t H_x^s\cap C_t^1 H^{s-1}_x$ with small data for semilinear wave equation with nonlinearity of type $(\partial u)^k$($k\ge 1+\frac{4}{n-1}\vee 2$ and $(n,k)\neq (3,3)$). For $(n,k)=(3,3)$, we get the almost global existence. In addition, we give the global existence with radial data when $k> 1+\frac{2}{n-1}\vee 2$.
We study nonexistence and existence of nontrivial positive solutions to the following semilinear elliptic inequality involving gradient terms \[ Δu+u^p\left|\nabla u\right|^q\leq0, \] on weighted graphs, where $(p,q)\in\mathbb{R}^2$. We give a complete classification of $(p,q)$ under which sharp volume growth assumptions are established.
This paper is concerned about the lifespan estimate to the Cauchy problem of semilinear damped wave equations with the Fujita critical exponent in high dimensions$(n\geq 4)$. We establish the sharp upper bound of the lifespan in the following form \begin{equation}\nonumber\\ \begin{aligned} T(\varepsilon)\leq \exp(C\varepsilon^{-\frac 2n}), \end{aligned} \end{equation} by using the heat kernel as the test function.
We consider the initial value problem for the semilinear wave equation with time-dependent effective damping. The interest is the behavior of lifespan of solutions in view of the asymptotic profile of the damping as $t\to \infty$. The result of this paper is the sharp lifespan estimates of blowup solutions for general time-dependent damping including threshold cases between effective and overdamping.
This paper is devoted to a proof of the conjecture in Takamura(2015) on the lower bound of the lifespan of solutions to semilinear wave equations in two space dimensions. The result is divided into two cases according to the total integral of the initial speed.
The open question, which seems to be also the final part, in terms of studying the Cauchy problem for the weakly coupled system of damped wave equations or reaction-diffusion equations, is so far known as the sharp lifespan estimates in the critical case. In this paper, we mainly investigate lifespan estimates for solutions to the weakly coupled system of semilinear damped wave equations in the critical case. By using a suitable test function method associated with nonlinear differential inequalities, we catch upper bound estimates for the lifespan. Moreover, we establish polynomial-logarithmi…
This paper is devoted to the study of semi-stable radial solutions $u\in H^1(B_1)$ of $-Δu=g(u) {in} B_1\setminus \{0\}$, where $g\in C^1(R)$ is a general nonlinearity and $B_1$ is the unit ball of $R^N$. We establish sharp pointwise estimates for such solutions. As an application of these results, we obtain optimal pointwise estimates for the extremal solution and its derivatives (up to order three) of the semilinear elliptic equation $-Δu=λf(u)$, posed in $B_1$, with Dirichlet data $u|_{\partial B_1}=0$, and a continuous, positive, nondecreasing and convex function $f$ on $[0,\infty)$ such t…
We study semilinear damped wave equations with power nonlinearity $|u|^p$ and initial data belonging to Sobolev spaces of negative order $\dot{H}^{-γ}$. In the present paper, we obtain a new critical exponent $p=p_{\mathrm{crit}}(n,γ):=1+\frac{4}{n+2γ}$ for some $γ\in(0,\frac{n}{2})$ and low dimensions in the framework of Soblev spaces of negative order. Precisely, global (in time) existence of small data Sobolev solutions of lower regularity is proved for $p>p_{\mathrm{crit}}(n,γ)$, and blow-up of weak solutions in finite time even for small data if $1<p<p_{\mathrm{crit}}(n,γ)$. Furthermore, …
We consider the equation $-Δu= |x|^α|u|^{p-1}u$ for any $α\geq 0$, either in $\mathbb R^2$ or in the unit ball $B$ of $\mathbb R^2$ centered at the origin with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. We give a sharp description of the asymptotic behavior as $p\rightarrow +\infty$ of all the radial solutions to these problems. In particular, we show that there is no uniform a priori bound (in $p$) for nodal solutions under Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions. This contrasts with the recently shown fact that positive solutions have uniform a priori bounds for $α=0$ and Dirichlet boundary …
The aim of this article is to prove an "almost" global existence result for some semilinear wave equations in the plane outside a bounded convex obstacle with the Neumann boundary condition.
Existence of global solutions to initial value problems for a discrete analogue of a d-dimensional semilinear heat equation is investigated. We prove that a parameter αin the partial difference equation plays exactly the same role as the parameter of nonlinearity does in the semilinear heat equation. That is, we prove non-existence of a non-trivial global solution for 0 < α\le 2/d, and, for α> 2/d, existence of non-trivial global solutions for sufficiently small initial data.
We show an existence of a weak solution of a degenerate and/or singular semilinear elliptic boundary value (nonhomogeneous) problem lying between a given weak subsolution and a given weak supersolution. It has been applied for an existence result of large solution to a similar problem.
In this paper, we establish the existence of solutions to fractional semilinear parabolic equations in Besov-Morrey spaces for a large class of initial data including distributions other than Radon measures. We also obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations.
In this article we find the equivalent conditions to assure the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions to semilinear elliptic equations wih double power nonlinearities. As a bonus, we give a simpler proof of our former result that the uniqueness condition comes from the existence condition.
We obtain necessary conditions and sufficient conditions on the existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for a fractional semilinear heat equation with an inhomogeneous term. We identify the strongest spatial singularity of the inhomogeneous term for the solvability of the Cauchy problem.
We consider semilinear elliptic problems on two-dimensional hyperbolic space involving critical growth. We first establish the Palais-Smale(P-S) condition and using (P-S) condition we obtain existence of solutions. In addition, we also explore existence of infinitely many sign changing solutions as well.
We study the global existence of solutions to semilinear damped wave equations in the scattering case with derivative power-type nonlinearity on (1+3) dimensional nontrapping asymptotically Euclidean manifolds. The main idea is to exploit local energy estimate, together with local existence to convert the parameter $μ$ to small one.
We study the global existence of solutions to semilinear wave equations with power-type nonlinearity and general lower order terms on $n$ dimensional nontrapping asymptotically Euclidean manifolds, when $n=3, 4$. In addition, we prove almost global existence with sharp lower bound of the lifespan for the four dimensional critical problem.
We consider semilinear parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. We give conditions which guarantee global existence of solutions as well as blow-up in finite time of all solutions with nontrivial initial data. The results depend on the behavior of variable coefficients as $t \to \infty.$
We establish the existence of solutions of the Cauchy problem for a higher-order semilinear parabolic equation by introducing a new majorizing kernel. We also study necessary conditions on the initial data for the existence of local-in-time solutions and identify the strongest singularity of the initial data for the solvability of the Cauchy problem.

We consider a semilinear parabolic equation with flux at the boundary governed by a nonlinear memory. We give some conditions for this problem which guarantee global existence of solutions as well as blow up in finite time of all nontrivial solutions. The results depend on the behavior of variable coefficients as $t \to \infty.$
In this paper we consider a semilinear parabolic equation with nonlinear and nonlocal boundary condition and nonnegative initial datum. We prove some global existence results. Criteria on this problem which determine whether the solutions blow up in finite time for large or for all nontrivial initial data are also given.
This paper is concerned with existence and multiplicity results for the semilinear subelliptic equation with free perturbation term. By using the degenerate Rellich-Kondrachov compact embedding theorem, precise lower bound estimates of Dirichlet eigenvalues for the finitely degenerate elliptic operator and minimax method, we obtain the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions for the problem.
In this paper, we show global existence, in spatial dimensions greater than or equal to four, for semilinear wave equations with quadratic nonlinearities exterior to a nontrapping obstacle. This extends the previous work of Shibata-Tsutsumi and Hayashi. Shibata-Tsutsumi showed the result for spatial dimensions greater than or equal to 6, and Hayashi proved the result exterior to a ball.
We consider initial value problem for semilinear damped wave equations in three space dimensions. We show the small data global existence for the problem without the spherically symmetric assumption and obtain the sharp lifespan of the solutions. This paper is devoted to a proof of the Takamura's conjecture on the lifespan of solutions.
We show the existence of a weak solution of a semilinear elliptic Dirichlet problem on an arbitrary open set. We make no assumptions about the open set, very mild regularity assumptions on the semilinearity, plus a coerciveness assumption which depends on the optimal Poincare-Steklov constant. The proof is based on Schaefer's fixed point theorem applied to a sequence of truncated problems. We state a simple uniqueness result. We also generalize the results to Robin boundary conditions.
We prove almost global existence for semilinear wave equations outside of nontrapping obstacles. We use the vector field method, but only use the generators of translations and Euclidean rotations. Our method exploits 1/r decay of wave equations, as opposed to the much harder to prove 1/t decay.
We prove certain weighted Strichartz estimates and use these to prove a sharp theorem for global existence of small amplitude solutions of $\square u= |u|^p$, thus verifying the so-called "Strauss conjecture".
We consider the following semilinear wave equation with time-dependent damping. \begin{align} \tag{NLDW} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \partial_t^2 u - Δu + b(t)\partial_t u = |u|^{p}, & (t,x) \in [0,T) \times \mathbb{R}^n, \\ u(0,x)=\varepsilon u_0(x), u_t(0,x)=\varepsilon u_1(x), & x \in \mathbb{R}^n, \end{array} \right. \end{align} where $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $p>1$, $\varepsilon>0$, and $b(t)\thickapprox (t+1)^{-β}$ with $β\in [-1,1)$. It is known that small data blow-up occurs when $1<p< p_F$ and, on the other hand, small data global existence holds when $p>p_F$, where $p_F:=1+2/n$ is the Fujita…
We prove small-data global existence to semi-linear wave equations on hyperbolic space of dimension greater than or equal to three, for nonlinearities that have the form of a sufficiently high integer power of the solution. We also prove the existence and asymptotic completeness of wave operators in this setting.
The final open part of Strauss' conjecture on semilinear wave equations was the blow-up theorem for the critical case in high dimensions. This problem was solved by Yordanov and Zhang in 2006, or Zhou in 2007 independently. But the estimate for the lifespan, the maximal existence time, of solutions was not clarified in both papers. In this paper, we refine their theorems and introduce a new iteration argument to get the sharp upper bound of the lifespan. As a result, with the sharp lower bound by Li and Zhou in 1995, the lifespan $T(\e)$ of solutions of $u_{tt}-Δu=u^2$ in $\R^4\times[0,\infty)…
We study two-dimensional semilinear strongly damped wave equation with mixed nonlinearity $|u|^p+|u_t|^q$ in an exterior domain, where $p,q>1$. Assuming the smallness of initial data in exponentially weighted spaces and some conditions on powers of nonlinearity, we prove global (in time) existence of small data energy solution with suitable higher regularity by using a weighted energy method.
Global existence for small data Cauchy problem of semilinear wave equations with scaling invariant damping in 3-D is established in this work, assuming that the data are radial and the constant in front of the damping belongs to $[1.5, 2)$. The proof is based on a weighted $L^2-L^2$ estimate for inhomogeneous wave equation, which is established by interpolating between energy estimate and Morawetz type estimate.
We consider the nonlinear massless wave equation belonging to some family of the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime. We prove the global in time small data solutions for supercritical powers in the case of decelerating expansion universe.
We consider the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equations with variable coefficients a(x) having power type nonlinearity |u|^p. We discuss the global existence of solutions for small initial data and investigate the relation between the range of a(x) and the order p.
We establish existence with sharp rates of decay and distance from the Chapman--Enskog approximation of small-amplitude shock profiles of a class of semilinear relaxation systems including discrete velocity models obtained from Boltzmann and other kinetic equations. Our method of analysis is based on the macro--micro decomposition introduced by Liu and Yu for the study of Boltzmann profiles, but applied to the stationary rather than the time-evolutionary equations. This yields a simple proof by contraction mapping in weighted $H^s$ spaces.
In this paper we show existence of finite energy solutions for the Cauchy problem associated with a semilinear wave equation with interior damping and supercritical source terms. The main contribution consists in dealing with super-supercritical source terms (terms of the order of $|u|^p$ with $p\geq 5$ in $n=3$ dimensions), an open and highly recognized problem in the literature on nonlinear wave equations.
In this paper, we study the semilinear wave equation with lower order terms (damping and mass) and with power type nonlinearity $|u|^p$ on compact Lie groups. We will prove the global in time existence of small data solutions in the evolution energy space without requiring any lower bounds for $p>1$. In our approach, we employ some results from Fourier analysis on compact Lie groups.
This paper is concerned with semilinear equations in divergence form \[ \diver(A(x)Du) = f(u) \] where $f :\R \to [0,\infty)$ is nondecreasing. We prove a sharp Harnack type inequality for nonnegative solutions which is closely connected to the classical Keller-Osserman condition for the existence of entire solutions.
We study the well-posedness of radial solutions for general nonlinear hyperbolic systems in three dimensions. We give a proof of the global existence of radial solutions for general semilinear hyperbolic systems in 3D under null condition, with small scaling invariant $\dot{W}^{2,1}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ data. We obtain a bilinear estimate that is effective to the hyperbolic systems which do not have any time decay. It allows us to achieve the boundedness of the weighted BV norm of the radial solution.
In this article, we consider a semilinear pseudo parabolic heat equation with the nonlinearity which is the product of logarithmic and polynomial functions. Here we prove the global existence of solution to the problem for arbitrary dimension $n \geq 1$ and power index $p>1$. Asymptotic behaviour of the solution has been addressed at different energy levels. Moreover, we prove that the global solution indeed decays with an exponential rate. Finally, sufficient conditions are provided under which blow up of solutions take place.
We consider a general hyperbolic model of chemotaxis in the multidimensional case. For this system we show the global existence of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem and we determine their asymptotic behavior. Since this model does not enter in the classical framework of dissipative problems, we analyze it combining the features of the hyperbolic and the parabolic parts and using detailed decay estimates of the Green function.
In this paper, we consider exterior problem of the critical semilinear wave equation in three space dimensions with variable coefficients and prove global existence of smooth solutions. Similar to the constant coefficients case, we show that the energy cannot concentrate at any point $(t,x)\in(0,\infty)\timesΩ$. For that purpose, following Ibrahim and Majdoub \cite{Ibrahim}, we use a geometric multiplier close to the well-known Morawetz multiplier used in the constant coefficients case. Then we use comparison theorem from Riemannian Geometry to estimate the error terms. Finally, using Strichar…
In this paper we consider a multi-dimensional damped semiliear wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions, related to the Kelvin-Voigt damping. We firstly prove the local existence by using the Faedo-Galerkin approximations combined with a contraction mapping theorem. Secondly, the exponential growth of the energy and the $L^p$ norm of the solution is presented.
We study existence and stability for solutions of $Lu+g(x; u) = ω$ in the closure of open set $Ω$ where L is a second order elliptic operator, $g$ a Caratheodory function and $ω$ a measure in $\barΩ$. We present a uni ed theory of the Dirichlet problem and the Poisson equation. We prove the stability of the problem with respect to weak convergence of the data.
This paper deals with existence and regularity of positive solutions of singular elliptic problems on a smooth bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions involving the $Φ$-Laplacian operator. The proof of existence is based on a variant of the generalized Galerkin method that we developed inspired on ideas by Browder and a comparison principle. By using a kind of Moser iteration scheme we show $L^{\infty}(Ω)$-regularity for positive solutions
We study the semilinear Poisson equation \begin{equation} \label{pro} Δu = f(x, u) \hskip .2 in \text{in} \hskip .2 in B_1. \end{equation} Our main results provide conditions on $f$ which ensure that weak solutions of this equation belong to $C^{1,1}(B_{1/2})$. In some configurations, the conditions are sharp.
We study the Cauchy problem for a semilinear heat equation with initial data non-rarefied at $\infty$. Our interest lies in the discussion of the effect of the non-rarefied factors on the life span of solutions, and some sharp estimates on the life span is established.
