# L^1-L^∞ Decay Estimates for the Odd-Dimensional Wave Equations

Edited by Leun Kim

We will show the following estimates.

For $n = 1,3,\cdots$, let $\phi \in C_0^{n} (\Bbb R^n), \; \psi \in C_0^{n-1} (\Bbb R^n)$. And let $v$ solve
$$\partial_t^2 v – \Delta v = 0 \;\text{in}\; [0,\infty) \times \Bbb R^n \;\; \text{ with } \;\; v(t=0) = \phi, \; \partial_t v (t=0) = \psi.$$ Then there exists $c = c(n)>0$ such that for $t \geqslant 0$,
\| v(t) \|_\infty \leqslant c(1+t)^{- \frac{n-1}{2}} ( \| \phi \|_{n,1} + \| \psi \|_{n-1,1} ).

In fact, for the even dimensions, the similar estimates hold. I will post this later with the case of non-vanishing mass for the Klein-Gordon equation.
