On the Interactions of Conormal Waves for Semilinear Wave Equations

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and its Applications ((IMA,volume 30))

Abstract

Let Ω ⊆ R 3 be an open subset and P be a second order strictly hyperbolic differential operator in Ω. Let S j , 1 ≤ jn, be smooth characteristic hypersurfaces for P simply tangent along a line L.
