Abstract

This paper is devoted to the well-posedness of the inhomogeneous nonlinear wave equations. By combining Strichartz estimates with the contraction mapping principle, we establish local and global well-posedness in the function spaces H˙1(R3)×L2(R3)\dot{H}^1(\mathbb{R}^3)\times L^2(\mathbb{R}^3) and H˙s+1(R3)×H˙s(R3)\dot{H}^{s+1}(\mathbb{R}^3)\times \dot{H}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^3). The analysis is carried out in the energy-subcritical regime. As a consequence, our results extend and improve upon previous results in the literature for general nonlinear wave equations.
