Abstract

Under very general assumptions, the authors prove that smooth solutions of quasilinear wave equations with small‐amplitude periodic initial data always develop singularities in the second derivatives in finite time. One consequence of these results is the fact that all solutions of the classical nonlinear vibrating string equation satisfying either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions and with sufficiently small nontriviai initial data necessarily develop singularities. In particular, there are no nontrivial smooth small‐amplitude time‐periodic solutions.

The existence and estimate of the upper bound of the Hausdorff dimension of the global attractor for the strongly damped nonlinear wave equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition are considered by introducing a new norm in the phase space. The gained Hausdorff dimension decreases as the damping
