We study the global decay properties of solutions to the linear wave equation in 1+3 dimensions on time-dependent, weakly asymptotically flat spacetimes. Assuming non-trapping of null geodesics and a local energy decay estimate, we prove…

We consider the defocusing, cubic nonlinear wave equation with zero Dirichlet boundary value in the exterior $\Omega = \mathbb{R}^3\backslash \bar{ B}(0,1)$. We make use of the distorted Fourier transform in \cite{LiSZ:NLS, Taylor:PDE:II}…

We obtain a vanishing result for solutions of the inequality $|\Delta u|\le q_1|u|+q_2|\nabla u|$ that decay to zero along a very general warped cylindrical end of a Riemannian manifold. The appropriate decay condition at infinity on $u$ is…

In this paper, we initiate the study of the global stability of nonlinear wave equations with initial data that are not required to be localized around a single point. More precisely, we allow small initial data localized around any finite…

We provide a proof of global existence of solutions to quasilinear wave equations satisfying the null condition in certain exterior domains. In particular, our proof does not require estimation of the fundamental solution for the free wave…

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for semi-linear wave equations with structural damping term $\nu (-\Delta)^2 u_t$, where $\nu >0$ is a constant. As being mentioned in [8,10], the linear principal part brings both the diffusion…

We derive a unique continuation theorem for the vacuum Einstein equations. Our method of proof utilizes Carleman estimates (most importantly one obtained recently by Ionescu and Klainerman), but also relies strongly on certain geometric…

Some systems of nonlinear wave equations admit global solutions for all sufficiently small initial data, while others do not. The (classical) null condition guarantees that such a result holds, but it is too strong to capture certain…
