L2 (Ω)) and f : Q × R × Rn −→ R is continuous and satisfies the following two conditions: ( ) |f (x, t, u, Du)| ≤ C k(x, t) + |u| + |Du| , ∀(x, t) ∈ Q, k ∈ L2 (0, ∞; L2 (Ω)), (1.7) ∫ ( )( ) f (x, t, u, Du) − f (x, t, v, Dv) u − v dx ≥ 0, a.e t ∈ [0, +∞) (1.8) Ω We introduce the Sobolev space H∗1,1 (Q) which consists of all functions u defined on Q such that u ∈ L2 (0, ∞; H01 (Ω)), ut ∈ L2 (0, ∞; L2 (Ω)), and utt ∈ L2 (0, ∞; H −1 (Ω)) with the norm ∥u∥2H 1,1 (Q) = ∥u∥2L2 (0,∞;H (Ω)) + ∥ut ∥2L2 (0,∞;L2 (Ω)) + ∥utt ∥2L2 (0,∞;H −1 (Ω)) ∗ By ⟨·, ·⟩ we denote pairs of elements in H −1 (Ω) and H01 (Ω); By the notation (·, ·) we mean the inner product in L2 (Ω) Let B[u, v; t] = ∫ [∑ n Ω ij a (x, t)uxi vxj + i,j=1 n ∑ ] bi (x, t)uxi v + c(x, t)uv dx i=1 which is a bilinear form defined on H (Ω) Definition 1.1 A function u ∈ H∗1,1 (Q) is called a weak solution of the (1.4) - (1.6) if it satisfies the following conditions: ( ) ( ) - ⟨utt (t), v⟩ + B[u(t), v;

t], ψ(t) = ∥h∥L2 (Ω) + ∥k∥L2 (Ω) , then (2.14) will be written in the form η ′ (t) ≤ C1 η(t) + C2 ψ(t) for ≤ t ≤ T, and C1 , C2 are constants Thus, applying Gronwall’s inequality, we deduce that ∫t η(t) ≤ eC1 t η(0) + C2 ψ(s)ds , t ∈ [0, T ] (2.15) N N N It is found that η(0) = ∥uN t (0)∥ + A[u (0), u (0);

H01 (Ω)), L2 (0, T ; L2 (Ω)), L2 (0, T ; H −1 (Ω)), therefore there exists a subsequence, without the loss of generality we take the sequence {uN }∞ N =1 and u ∈ 1,1 H∗ (ΩT ) such that N weak in L2 (0, T ;

H (Ω)) of the N ∑ form v(x, t) = dk (t)ω(x), where {dk }N k=1 are smooth functions We select m ≥ N, k=1 N multiply (2.2) by di (t), the sum i = 1, · · · , N, then we obtain (uN tt , v) + B[u , v; t] + N (f, v) = (h, v) Setting (F (uN ), v) := (uN tt , v) + B[u , v; t] − (h, v), then ( ) (F (uN ), v) = − f (x, t, uN , DuN ), v (2.21) By ∥f (x, t, u , Du N N )∥2L2 (Ω) ≤C ( ∥k∥2L2 (Ω) + ∥uN ∥2H (Ω) ) , and also by (2.5) we have f (x, t, uN , DuN ) which is bounded in L2 (Ω) a.e ≤ t < T Therefore, there exists (ξ ∈ Ł2 (Ω) to f (x, t, )uN , DuN ) ⇀ ξ which is weak in L2 (Ω) when N −→ ∞ and hence f (x, t, uN , DuN ), v −→ (ξ, v) So when N −→ ∞ then (2.21) becomes (F (u), v) = −(ξ, v) (2.22) 44 The first initial-boundary value problem for semilinear hyperbolic equations ( ) On the other hand, from (1.8) then f (x, t, uN , DuN ) − f (x, t, ω, Dω), uN − ω ≥ for ∀ω ∈ H01 (Ω) Integrating Ω and N −→ ∞, we have: ∫ [F (u)u − ξω − f (x, t, ω, Dω)(u − ω)]dx ≥ Ω ∫ By (2.22) we also have (F (u), u) = −(ξ, u) and so [−ξu + ξω − f (x, t, ω, Dω)(u − Ω ω)]dx ≥ 0, that is ∫ [ξ − f (x, t, ω, Dω)](u − ω)dx ≤ (2.23) Ω ∫ Putting ω = u−λv for λ > 0, into (2.23), we get [ξ−f (x, t, u−λv, Du−λDv)]vdx ≤ Ω ∫ Sending λ −→ 0, yields [ξ − f (x, t, u, Du)]vdx ≤ By an argument analogous to the Ω ∫ above with ω = u + λv for λ > 0, we obtain [ξ − f (x, t, u, Du)]vdx ≥ From this we Ω deduce ( ) f (x, t, u, Du), v = (ξ, v) (2.24) Combining (2.21), (2.22) and (2.24) yields ( ) ⟨utt , v⟩ + B[u, v;

t] + (F, v) = 0, integrating by t in (2.29) on [0, s] with s ∈ (0, T ), it follows further that ∫s ( 46 ∫s ) ⟨utt , v⟩ + B[u, v; t] dt + (F, v)dt = 0 (2.29) The first initial-boundary value problem for semilinear hyperbolic equations Since ut (0) = 0, v(s) = and integrating by parts twice with respect to t, we find ∫s { } − (ut , vt ) + B[u, v; t] dt + ∫s (F, v)dt = 0 Now vt = −u (0 ≤ t ≤ s), and so ∫s { ∫s } (ut , u) − B[vt , v; t] dt + (F, v)dt = 0 Thus ∫s ∫s ∫s ) { d (1 ∥u∥2L2 (Ω) − B[v, v; t] dt + (F, v)dt = − C[u, v; t] + D[v, v; t]}dt, dt 2 0 (2.30) where ∫ ( C[u, v;
