    Abstract

    We consider the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for semilinear wave equations in a
    three space dimensional domain exterior to a bounded and non-trapping obstacle.
    We obtain a detailed estimate for the lower bound of the lifespan of classical
    solutions when the size of initial data tends to zero, in a similar spirit to
    that of the works of John and H\"ormander where the Cauchy problem was treated.
    We show that our estimate is sharp at least for some special case.

  2. Decay estimates of a tangential derivative to the light cone for the wave equation and their application.

    Abstract

    We consider wave equations in three space dimensions, and obtain new weighted
    $L^\infty$-$L^\infty$ estimates for a tangential derivative to the light cone.
    As an application, we give a new proof of the global existence theorem, which
    was originally proved by Klainerman and Christodoulou, for systems of nonlinear
    wave equations under the null condition. Our new proof has the advantage of
    using neither the scaling nor the pseudo-rotation operators.
