| Research Abstract |
The main purpose of this research is concerned with the exterior problem for the quasi-linear wave equations. For this problem we have been successful in proving the global existence of smooth solutions under the effect of localized dissipation. We have achieved the results through two ways; one is based on the local energy decay and L^p estimates of solutions for linear equation, and the other one is the method to utilize total energy decay for the llinearized equation. Both ways are intended to make the effects of dissipation as weaker as possible, but, we have made no geometrical conditions on the shape of the boundary.
Concerning another problem on the energy decay for the equation with nonlinear dissipations we introduced anew concept ‘Half linear' and has been successful in deriving very delicate decay estimates of energy and applied them to the existence of global solutions for the equations with a nonlinear source term.
As related problems we have considered the existence and stability of periodic solutions for the nonlinear wave equations in bounded domains with some nonlinear localized dissipations. Further, we have considered the Kirchhoff type nonlinear wave equations in exterior domains. Under a nonlinear dissipations we have proved various results on global solutions. For the wave equation in exterior domains with a Neumann type boundary dissipation we have derived a new energy decay estimate.
Investigator Kawashima has derived many interesting results concerning Boltzman equations and hyperbolic conservation equations. Investigator Shibata has derived by the method of spectral analysis, many interesting results concerning the exterior problem for the compressive Navier-Stokes equations. Investigator Ogawa has proved precise estimates of solutions concerning behaviors and regularities of solutions for the nonlinear wave equations, nonlinear Shroadinger equations and some harmonic evolution equation.
