Regularity of solution to a hyperbolic pde
I have a question concerning 2nd order evolution equation of the form $u''(t)+A(t)u(t) = f(t)$ in $L^2(0,T;V^*)$, where $f\in\ L^2(0,T;H)$ holds. Under what assumptions is it possible, to guarantee a ...

Can the conservative form of the advection equation be re-written by replacing the velocity term with an integral over all other points in space?
Suppose I have a 1D advection equation in conservation (divergence) form
$\partial_t u(x,t) = -\partial_x [v(x)u(x,t)],$
where $u$ is a conserved quantity in space, and $v$ gives the velocity of the ...

A hyperbolic partial differential equation (wave-like) with variable-dependent coefficient and possibly singular in one variable
First, I beg your pardon since the title of the question is a bit confusing I guess. I'm working on a physical equation of the wave-like form. Explicitly, it reads

a road from virial identity to Strichartz estimates for wave/ Schrodinger eqs?
Is there any way how virial identity implies Strichartz estimates ( or some smoothing properties) for solutions to a) wave equation b) Schrodinger equation ( say in 3d)? To keep things clear I am ...
