Abstract

For the 2-D quasilinear wave equation  satisfying null condition or both null conditions, a blowup or global existence result has been shown by Alinhac. In this paper, we consider a more general 2-D quasilinear wave equation (t2-△x)u+ satisfying null conditions with small initial data and the coefficients depending simultaneously on u and ∂u. Through construction of an approximate solution, combined with weighted energy integral method, a quasi-global or global existence solution are established by continuous induction.
