The paper is concerned with conservative solutions to the nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt} - c(u)\big(c(u) u_x\big)_x = 0$. For an open dense set of $C^3$ initial data, we prove that the solution is piecewise smooth in the $t$-$x$ plane,…

We show that a partial Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, where the measurement set is arbitrarily small, uniquely determines the time-dependent nonlinearity of order three or higher in a semi-linear wave equation up to natural obstructions on a…
