Global existence for systems of nonlinear wave and Klein-Gordon equations in two space dimensions under a kind of the weak null condition

Abstract

We consider the coupled systems of nonlinear wave and Klein-Gordon equations in two space dimensions with cubic nonlinearity. For this kind of systems, the small data global existence is already known if the cubic nonlinearity satisfies a certain condition related to the null condition. In this article, our aim is to investigate the small data global existence under a condition related to the weak null condition. We also make a remark on the asymptotic behavior of global solutions.
