Abstract:

In this paper, we investigate a class of semilinear wave equations in non-cylindrical time-dependent domains, subject to exterior homogeneous Dirichlet conditions. Under mild regularity and monotonicity assumptions on the evolving spatial domains, we establish existence of weak solutions by two different methods: a constructive time-discretization scheme and a penalty approach. The analysis applies to nonlocal fractional Laplacians and potentials with Lipschitz continuous gradient, and to vector-valued maps.
