Abstract

Let u be a solution to a quasi-linear Klein-Gordon equation in one-space dimension, u+u=P(u,\Box u + u = P (u, \partial_tu,\_t u, \partial_xu;\_x u; \partial_t\_t \partial_xu,\_x u, \partial2_xu)^2\_x u) , where P is a homogeneous polynomial of degree three, and with smooth Cauchy data of size ϵ0\epsilon \rightarrow 0. It is known that, under a suitable condition on the nonlinearity, the solution is global-in-time for compactly supported Cauchy data. We prove in this paper that the result holds even when data are not compactly supported but just decaying as x1\langle x \rangle^ {--1} at infinity, combining the method of Klainerman vector fields with a semiclassical normal forms method introduced by Delort. Moreover, we get a one term asymptotic expansion for u when t+t \rightarrow +\infty.
