Modulating pulse solutions for quasilinear wave equations

چکیده
This paper presents an existence proof for symmetric modulating pulse solutions of a quasilinear wave equation. Modulating pulse solutions consist of a pulse-like envelope advancing in the laboratory frame and modulating an underlying wave-train; they are also referred to as ‘moving breathers’ since they are time-periodic in a moving frame of reference. The problem is formulated as an infinite-dimensional dynamical system with two stable, two unstable and infinitely many neutral directions. Using a partial normal form and a generalisation of local invariant-manifold theory to the quasilinear setting we prove the existence of modulating pulses on arbitrarily large, but finite domains in space and time.

متن کاملAlmost Global Existence for Quasilinear Wave Equations in Three Space Dimensions
This article studies almost global existence for solutions of quadratically quasilinear systems of wave equations in three space dimensions. The approach here uses only the classical invariance of the wave operator under translations, spatial rotations, and scaling. Using these techniques we can handle wave equations in Minkowski space or Dirichletwave equations in the exterior of a smooth, sta...

We study the existence of soliton solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic equation in $mathbb{textbf{R}}^2$ with critical exponential growth. This model has been proposed in the self-channeling of a high-power ultra short laser in matter.
متن کاملAn Application of Kubota-yokoyama Estimates to Quasilinear Wave Equations with Cubic Terms in Exterior Domains
Small global solutions for quasilinear wave equations are considered in three space dimensions in exterior domains. The obstacles are compact with smooth boundary and the local energy near the obstacles is assumed to decay exponentially with a possible loss of regularity. The null condition is needed to show global solutions for quadratic nonlinearities.
متن کاملGlobal Weak Entropy Solutions to Quasilinear Wave Equations of Klein{gordon and Sine{gordon Type
We establish the existence of global Lipschitz continuous weak entropy solutions to the Cauchy problem for a class of quasilinear wave equations with an external positional force. We prove the consistency and the convergence of uniformly bounded nite{diierence fractional step approximations. Therefore the uniform bound is shown to hold for globally Lipschitz continuous external forces.
