文摘For a special class of quasilinear wave equations with small initial data which satisfy the nondegenerate assumption, the authors prove that the radially symmetric solution develops singularities in the second order derivatives in finite time while the first order derivatives and the solution itself remain continuous and small. More precisely, it turns out that this solution is a "geometric blowup solution of cusp type", according to the terminology posed by S. Alinhac[2].
