A unique continuation principle and weak asymptotic behaviour of solutions to semilinear wave equations in exterior domains. (English) Zbl 0713.35014
Summary: We prove a unique continuation principle for solutions of the wave equation and results on the weak $$\omega$$-limit set of solutions to nonlinear wave equations with nonmonotone damping in exterior domains.
