Analysis of PDEs 2017-12-06 v1

Abstract

In this paper we consider the nonlinear wave equation on the circle:\begin{equation} \nonumberu\_{tt} - u\_{xx} + m u = g(x,u), \quad t \in \mathbb{R},\: x \in \mathbb{S}^1,\end{equation}where m[1,2]m \in [1,2] is a mass and g(x,u)=4u3+O(u4)g(x,u)=4u^3+ O(u^4). This equation will be treated as a perturbation of the integrable Hamiltonian:\begin{equation} \tag{\ast} \label{first equation}u\_t= v, \quad v\_t = - u\_{xx} + m u.\end{equation}Near the origin and for generic mm, we prove the existence of small amplitude quasi-periodic solutions close to the solution of the linear equation\eqref{first equation}. For the proof we use an abstract KAM theorem in infinite dimension and a Birkhoff normal form result.
