The paper deals with the defocusing case of the energy subcritical non-linear wave equation in $R^3$. We assume the initial data is in the space $\dot{H}^s \times \dot{H}^{s-1}$ and radial. If $s=1$, this is the energy space and the…
We study time integration schemes for $\dot H^1$-solutions to the energy-(sub)critical semilinear wave equation on $\mathbb{R}^3$. We show first-order convergence in $L^2$ for the Lie splitting and convergence order $3/2$ for a corrected…
In this paper, we consider the defocusing cubic nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}-\Delta u+|u|^2u=0$ in the energy-supercritical regime, in dimensions $d\geq 6$, with no radial assumption on the initial data. We prove that if a solution…
Wave scattering is considered in a medium in which many small particles are embedded. Equations for the effective field in the medium are derived when the number of particles tends to infinity.
In this paper, we study the long-time existence result for small data solutions of quasilinear wave equations exterior to star-shaped regions in two space dimensions. The key novelty is that we establish a Morawetz type energy estimate for…
We study the damped wave equation with a damping coefficient which is possibly singular and unbounded at infinity. In general, zero belongs to the spectrum of the corresponding generator, which prevents a uniform (exponential) decay for the…

It is shown that the scattering length can be obtained by solving a Riccati equation derived from variable phase theory. Two methods of solving it are presented. The equation is used to predict how long-range interactions influence the…
