Blow-up behavior outside the origin for a semilinear wave equation in the radial case

Analysis of PDEs 2011-02-08 v1

Abstract

We consider the semilinear wave equation in the radial case with conformal subcritical power nonlinearity. If we consider a blow-up point different from the origin, then we exhibit a new Lyapunov functional which is a perturbation of the one dimensional case and extend all our previous results known in the one-dimensional case. In particular, we show that the blow-up set near non-zero non-characteristic points is of class C1C^1, and that the set of characteristic points is made of concentric spheres in finite number in {1RxR}\{\frac 1R \le |x|\le R\} for any R>1R>1.
