Wave scattering phenomena are ubiquitous to almost all Sciences, from Biology to Physics. When an incident wave scatters off of an obstacle, it is partially reflected and partially transmitted. Since the scatterer absorbs part of the…

The topic of this paper is a semi-linear, energy sub-critical, defocusing wave equation $\partial_t^2 u - \Delta u = - |u|^{p -1} u$ in the 3-dimensional space ($3\leq p<5$) whose initial data are radial and come with a finite energy. We…
