Local weak solution by contraction for a semilinear wave equation

ID: local-weak-solution-by-contraction-for-a-semilinear-wave-equation

Suppose the inhomogeneous linear wave equation has an energy estimate in a Banach solution space , and its nonlinearity obeys
together with the corresponding locally Lipschitz estimate. For a sufficiently large closed ball and sufficiently small , the map that solves the linear equation with source is a contraction. The contraction mapping theorem then gives a local weak solution.
