Asymptotics from scaling for nonlinear wave equations

Nikodem Szpak

Published 2009-07-24, updated 2011-01-23Version 3

We present a scaling technique which transforms the evolution problem for a nonlinear wave equation with small initial data to a linear wave equation with a distributional source. The exact solution of the latter uniformly approximates the late-time behavior of solutions of the nonlinear problem in timelike and null directions.
