The regularity properties of nonlocal abstract wave equations

Abstract

In this paper, the regularity properties of Cauchy problem for linear and nonlinear nonlocal wave equations are studied.The equation involves a convolution integral operators with a general kernel operator functions whose Fourier transform are operator functions defined in Hilbert space H together with some growth conditions. We establish local and global existence and uniqueness of solutions assuming enough smoothness on the initial data and the operator functions. By selecting the space H and the operators, the wide class of wave equations in the field of physics are obtained.
