Abstract

For the one-dimensional nonlinear damped Klein-Gordon equation \partial_{t}^{2}u+2\alpha\partial_{t}u-\partial_{x}^{2}u+u-|u|^{p-1}u=0 \quad \mbox{on $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$,} with α>0\alpha>0 and p>2p>2, we prove that any global finite energy solution either converges to 00 or behaves asymptotically as tt\to \infty as the sum of K1K\geq 1 decoupled solitary waves. In the multi-soliton case K2K\geq 2, the solitary waves have alternate signs and their distances are of order logt\log t.
