Abstract
We prove global existence of a classical solution for small initial in the Cauchy problem of the Born–Infeld system describing nonlinear electromagnetism. For the proof we crucially use the null form structure of the the nonlinear terms under the Lorentz gauge condition.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
