We present a new general method for proving global decay of energy through a suitable spacetime foliation, as well as pointwise decay, starting from an integrated local energy decay estimate. The method is quite robust, requiring only…
In this brief note, we consider a wave equation that has both trapping and a complex potential. For this problem, we prove a uniform bound on the energy and a Morawetz (or integrated local energy decay) estimate. The equation is a model…
This manuscript is a lightly reformatted version of my 2017 PhD thesis. I am posting it on arXiv at the request of my advisor, Sergiu Klainerman, who noted that it has been useful to some students. The content largely reflects the thesis in…
We establish the decay and Strichartz estimates for the wave equation with large scaling-critical electromagnetic potentials on a conical singular space $(X,g)$ with dimension $n\geq3$, where the metric $g=dr^2+r^2 h$ and…
The first article in a two-part series (the second article being [arXiv:2205.13197]) assumes a weak local energy decay estimate holds and proves that solutions to the linear wave equation with variable coefficients in $\mathbb R^{1+3}$,…
We investigate numerical methods for wave equations in $n+2$ spacetime dimensions, written in spherical coordinates, decomposed in spherical harmonics on $S^n$, and finite-differenced in the remaining coordinates $r$ and $t$. Such an…
We present a new vector field approach to almost-sharp decay for the wave equation on spherically symmetric, stationary and asymptotically flat spacetimes. Specifically, we derive a new hierarchy of higher-order weighted energy estimates by…
These lecture notes, based on a course given at the Zurich Clay Summer School (June 23-July 18, 2008), review our current mathematical understanding of the global behaviour of waves on black hole exterior backgrounds. Interest in this…
This paper concludes the series begun in [M. Dafermos and I. Rodnianski, Decay for solutions of the wave equation on Kerr exterior spacetimes I-II: the cases |a| << M or axisymmetry, arXiv:1010.5132], providing the complete proof of…
The purpose of this expository note is to revisit Morawetz's method for obtaining a lower bound on the rate of exponential decay of waves for the Dirichlet problem outside star-shaped obstacles, and to discuss the uniqueness of the sphere…
In [M. Dafermos and I. Rodnianski, A new physical-space approach to decay for the wave equation with applications to black hole spacetimes, in XVIth International Congress on Mathematical Physics, Pavel Exner ed., Prague 2009 pp. 421-433,…
In this paper we investigate a construction of scattering for wave-type equations with singular potentials on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^n$ in a framework of weak-$L^p$ spaces. First, we use an Yamazaki-type estimate for wave groups on…
We obtain large time decay estimates on weighted $L^p$ spaces for solutions to the wave equation with real-valued potential $V(x)=O(|x|^{-2-a})$, $a>0$, for $|x|>1$.
In this paper we consider solutions to the linear wave equation on higher dimensional Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes and prove robust nondegenerate energy decay estimates that are in principle required in a nonlinear stability problem.…
We prove sharp pointwise $t^{-3}$ decay for scalar linear perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole without symmetry assumptions on the data. We also consider electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations for which we obtain decay rates…
This work is devoted to prove the exponential decay for the energy of solutions of a higher order Korteweg -de Vries (KdV)--Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation on a periodic domain with a localized damping mechanism. Following the method in…
New implicit and implicit-explicit time-stepping methods for the wave equation in second-order form are described with application to two and three-dimensional problems discretized on overset grids. The implicit schemes are single step,…
A partial-wave method is developed to deal with small molecules dominated by a central atom as an extension of earlier single-center methods. In particular, a model potential for the water molecule is expanded over a basis of spherical…
We provide a definitive treatment, including sharp decay and the precise late-time asymptotic profile, for generic solutions of linear wave equations with a (singular) inverse-square potential in (3+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Such…
We consider a novel way of discretizing wave scattering problems using the general formalism of convolution quadrature, but instead of reducing the timestep size ($h$-method), we achieve accuracy by increasing the order of the method…
