Polynomial bounds on the Sobolev norms of the solutions of the nonlinear wave equation with time dependent potential

We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt} - \Delta_x u +q(t, x) u + u^3 = 0$ with smooth potential $q(t, x) \geq 0$ having compact support with respect to $x$. The linear equation without the nonlinear term $u^3$ and potential periodic in $t$ may have solutions with exponentially increasing as $t \to \infty$ norm $H^1({\mathbb R}^3_x)$. In [2] it was established that adding the nonlinear term $u^3$ the $H^1({\mathbb R}^3_x)$ norm of the solution is polynomially bounded for every choice of $q$. In this paper we show that $H^k({\mathbb R}^3_x)$ norm of this global solution is also polynomially bounded. To prove this we apply a different argument based on the analysis of a sequence $\{Y_k(n\tau_k)\}_{n = 0}^{\infty}$ with suitably defined energy norm $Y_k(t)$ and $0 < \tau_k <1.
