A center manifold theorem for semilinear hyperbolic equations

A Shirikyan and L R Volevich


Abstract

An infinite-dimensional center manifold is constructed for a semilinear hyperbolic equation of high order. It is proved that this manifold is locally invariant under the action of the solving operator and exponentially attracts all the solutions that are uniformly bounded on the positive or negative half-line. A reduction principle according to which the dynamics on the center manifold can be described by a lower order equation is established.
