Abstract

We study the semilinear wave equation t2ψΔψ=ψp1ψ \partial_t^2 \psi-\Delta \psi=|\psi|^{p-1}\psi for p>3p > 3 with radial data in three spatial dimensions. There exists an explicit solution which blows up at t=T>0t=T>0 given by ψT(t,x)=cp(Tt)2p1 \psi^T(t,x)=c_p (T-t)^{-\frac{2}{p-1}} where cpc_p is a suitable constant. We prove that the blow up described by ψT\psi^T is stable in the sense that there exists an open set (in a topology strictly stronger than the energy) of radial initial data that lead to a solution which converges to ψT\psi^T as tTt\to T- in the backward lightcone of the blow up point (t,r)=(T,0)(t,r)=(T,0).
