In particular, we consider a higher-order normalized approximation of NLKG (which corresponds to the NLS at order $r=1$), and prove that when $M$ is a smooth compact manifold or $\\mathbb{R}^d$, the solution of the approximating equation approximates the solution of the NLKG locally uniformly in time. When $M=\\mathbb{R}^d$, $d \\geq 3$, we prove that small radiation solutions of the order $r$ normalized equation approximate solutions of NLKG up to times of order $\\mathcal{O}(c^{2(r-1)})$ for any $r>1$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-03-05T15:25:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nonlinear klein-gordon equation", "long time behaviour", "nonrelativistic limit", "normalized equation approximate solutions", "small radiation solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
