Abstract

The nonlinear Klein-Gordon (NLKG) equation on a manifold MM in the nonrelativistic limit, namely as the speed of light cc tends to infinity, is considered. In particular, a higher-order normalized approximation of NLKG (which corresponds to the NLS at order r=1r=1) is constructed, and when MM is a smooth compact manifold or Rd\mathbb{R}^d it is proved that the solution of the approximating equation approximates the solution of the NLKG locally uniformly in time. When M=RdM=\mathbb{R}^d, d3d \geq 3, it is proved that solutions of the linearized order rr normalized equation approximate solutions of linear Klein-Gordon equation up to times of order O(c2(r1))\mathcal{O}(c^{2(r-1)}) for any r>1r>1.
