We generalize inward/outward energy theory and weighted Morawetz estimates for radial solutions to the non-radial case. As an application we show that if $3\\frac{5-p}{2}$, then the solution scatters as long as the initial data $(u_0,u_1)$ satisfy \\[ \\int_{{\\mathbb R}^3} (|x|^\\kappa+1)\\left(\\frac{1}{2}|\\nabla u_0|^2 + \\frac{1}{2}|u_1|^2+\\frac{1}{p+1}|u_0|^{p+1}\\right) dx < +\\infty. \\] If $p=3$, we can also prove the scattering result if initial data $(u_0,u_1)$ are contained in the critical Sobolev space and satisfy the inequality \\[ \\int_{{\\mathbb R}^3} |x|\\left(\\frac{1}{2}|\\nabla u_0|^2 + \\frac{1}{2}|u_1|^2+\\frac{1}{4}|u_0|^{p+1}\\right) dx < +\\infty. \\] These assumptions on the decay rate of initial data as $|x| \\rightarrow \\infty$ are weaker than previously known scattering results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-22T07:51:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35L71", "35L05" ], "keywords": [ "3d semi-linear wave equation", "non-radial solutions", "initial data", "scattering result", "generalize inward/outward energy theory" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
