Abstract

In this paper, we prove a uniqueness theorem for a system of semilinear wave equations satisfying the null condition in R1+3\mathbb{R}^{1+3}. Suppose that two global solutions with CcC_c^\infty initial data have equal initial data outside a ball and equal radiation fields outside a light cone. We show that these two solutions are equal either outside a hyperboloid or everywhere in the spacetime, depending on the sizes of the ball and the light cone.
