Under the null condition for such systems, the global existence of small amplitude solutions is known. In this paper, we will show that the global solution is asymptotically free in the energy sense, by obtaining the asymptotic pointwise behavior of the derivatives of the solution. Nonetheless we can also show that the pointwise behavior of the solution itself may be quite different from that of the free solution. In connection with the above results, a theorem is also developed to characterize asymptotically free solutions for wave equations in arbitrary space dimensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-04-24T03:23:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35L70", "35L05", "35L15", "35B40" ], "keywords": [ "nonlinear wave equations", "multiple propagation speeds", "asymptotic bahavior", "free solution", "asymptotically free" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Differential Equations", "year": 2013, "volume": 255, "number": 1, "pages": 120 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013JDE...255..120K" } } }
