Abstract

We are interested in global time estimates for the L P norms of solutions to the wave equation on the exterior of a smooth compact strictly convex obstacle in R n n 2265 2, with vanishing Dirichlet data on the boundary:

$$\square u = 0\,on\,\Omega \,x\,R;u(0) = {f_0},\,{u_t}(0) = {f_1},{\left. u \right|_{\partial \Omega xR}} = 0.$$
