We study the dynamics for the focusing nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation, with positive radial potential V and initial data in the energy space. Under suitable assumption on the potential, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the ground state solution. This enables us to define a threshold size for the initial data that separates global existence and blow-up. An appropriate Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality gives a critical exponent depending on V. For subcritical exponent and subcritical energy global existence vs blow-up conditions are determined by a comparison between the nonlinear term of the energy solution and the nonlinear term of the ground state energy. For subcritical exponents and critical energy some solutions blow-up, other solutions exist for all time due to the decomposition of the energy space of the initial data into two complementary domains.

Abstract
We study the dynamics for the focusing nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation, with positive radial potential V and initial data in the energy space. Under suitable assumption on the potential, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the ground state solution. This enables us to define a threshold size for the initial data that separates global existence and blow-up. An appropriate Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality gives a critical exponent depending on V. For subcritical exponent and subcritical energy global existence vs blow-up conditions are determined by a comparison between the nonlinear term of the energy solution and the nonlinear term of the ground state energy. For subcritical exponents and critical energy some solutions blow-up, other solutions exist for all time due to the decomposition of the energy space of the initial data into two complementary domains.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
