On the Cauchy Problem for a Nonlinearly Dispersive Wave Equation
We establish the local well-posedness for a new nonlinearly dispersive wave equation and we show that the equation has solutions that exist for indefinite times as well as solutions which blowup in finite time. Furthermore, we derive an explosion criterion for the equation and we give a sharp estimate from below for the existence time of solutions with smooth initial data.

We obtain a sharp local well-posedness result for the Gradient Nonlinear Wave Equation on a nonsmooth curved background. In the process we introduce variable coefficient versions of Bourgain’s X spaces, and use a trilinear multiscale wave packet decomposition in order to prove a key trilinear estimate.
متن کاملThe wave equation on hyperbolic spaces
We study the dispersive properties of the wave equation associated with the shifted Laplace–Beltrami operator on real hyperbolic spaces and deduce new Strichartz estimates for a large family of admissible pairs. As an application, we obtain local well–posedness results for the nonlinear wave equation.
متن کاملSharp Well-posedness Results for the Generalized Benjamin-ono Equation with High Nonlinearity
We establish the local well-posedness of the generalized BenjaminOno equation ∂tu+H∂ xu±u ∂xu = 0 in Hs(R), s > 1/2−1/k for k ≥ 12 and without smallness assumption on the initial data. The condition s > 1/2−1/k is known to be sharp since the solution map u0 7→ u is not of class Ck+1 on Hs(R) for s < 1/2 − 1/k. On the other hand, in the particular case of the cubic Benjamin-Ono equation, we prov...
متن کاملMultilinear Space-Time Estimates and Applications to Local Existence Theory for Nonlinear Wave Equations
We prove a quadrilinear integral estimate in space-time for solutions of the homogeneous wave equation on R. This estimate is a generalization of a previously known bilinear L estimate, and it arises naturally in the study of the local regularity properties of a hyperbolic model equation connected with wave maps from Minkowski space R into a sphere. The scale invariant data space for this equat...
