On a conjecture of Lions for the wave equation
In Control of Distributed Singular Systems p 236, JL Lions makes the conjecture :
Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $Q = \Omega \times ]0,T[$ and consider
$\phi'' - \triangle \phi = F$

Decay for linear wave equations
According to Klainerman's global Sobolev inequality, we can show the one derivatives of the free wave decays as $\frac{1}{t}$ on Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{R}^{3+1}$. But how can we show that the ...

Double series solution of wave equation
Let $u(x,y,t)$ be the solution of wave equation $u_{tt}=u_{xx}+u_{yy}, 0\lt x\lt 1, 0\lt y\lt 1, t\ge 0,$ $u(x,y,0)=(x-x^2)(y-y^2), u_t(x,y,0)=0$ and $ u(x,y,t)=0$ on the boundary of the square. Then
