Synopsis

We consider the strongly-damped Klein–Gordon equation in ℝ3 in the case where the initial data possess radial symmetry. With the latter assumption we are able to extend the result of [2] which assumed a bounded spatial domain. Specifically, we construct a global weak solution v of theundamped equation for high powers p which can be approximated arbitrarily closely (for small α) by the global strong solutions of the damped equation found by Aviles and Sandefur [1].
