Failure of the source-size bound for the screened sine-Gordon equation

Take , and on . Set . Both functions are smooth and belong to L2 space, and . The strictly increasing reaction has , while
Consequently . This is a minimizer of the screened sine-Gordon energy: it solves the Euler-Lagrange equation and that energy is convex. Thus even the minimizing and smooth hypotheses do not justify the stronger source-size bound. The appropriate general estimate is maximum bound for a monotone reaction term.
