Global non-scattering solutions conjecture for the cubic wave equation
Global non-scattering solutions conjecture for the cubic wave equation
Consider the cubic wave equation and its phase-space notation , with . A solution scatters if it approaches a solution of the linear wave equation as . A self-similar solution has the form
Global non-scattering solutions conjecture. Let be a solution of the cubic wave equation with the prescribed initial-data problem, defined for and not scattering to a linear solution as . Then there exists a self-similar solution such that
Furthermore, there exists a linear-wave solution with initial data satisfying and , such that the stated asymptotic-linear relation holds. This conjecture proposes a general asymptotic description of global non-scattering solutions; the source does not establish it or determine which self-similar profile must occur.
