Global smooth solutions of IBVP to nonlinear equation of suspended string

We shall consider IBVP to a nonlinear equation of suspended string with uniform density to which a nonlinear time-independent outer force works. The nonlinear term is smooth but not monotone. We shall show that IBVP has a unique time-global smooth solution. The regularity of the solutions shall be also studied. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
