We consider the focusing energy subcritical nonlinear wave equation $\partial_{tt} u - \Delta u= |u|^{p-1} u$ in ${\mathbb R}^N$, $N\ge 1$. Given any compact set $ E \subset {\mathbb R}^N $, we construct finite energy solutions which blow…
We consider the defocusing nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}-\Delta u + |u|^p u=0$ in the energy-supercritical regime p>4. For even values of the power p, we show that blowup (or failure to scatter) must be accompanied by blowup of the…
