ABSTRACT

This paper considers hyperbolic wave equations with non-local in time conditions involving integrals with respect to time. It is shown that regularity of the solution can be achieved for complexified problem with integral conditions involving harmonic complex exponential weights. The paper establishes existence, uniqueness, and a regularity of the solutions.

Motivation & Objective

• To investigate the regularity of solutions to hyperbolic wave equations with non-local in time integral conditions.
• To extend the analysis to the complexified domain, where solutions are studied in a complex analytic framework.
• To examine how integral conditions with harmonic complex exponential weights influence solution regularity.
• To establish existence and uniqueness of solutions under these complexified integral constraints.
• To demonstrate that such integral conditions lead to improved regularity properties in the complexified setting.

Proposed method

• The study employs complexification of the hyperbolic wave equation to analyze solutions in the complex domain.
• Integral conditions are imposed over time, involving harmonic complex exponential weights to model non-local dependencies.
• Functional analytic methods are used to establish existence and uniqueness in appropriate function spaces.
• Sobolev-type spaces with complex weights are applied to measure solution regularity.
• The analysis leverages properties of harmonic complex exponentials to control growth and smoothness of solutions.
• A priori estimates and energy methods are adapted to the complexified setting to derive regularity results.
