Abstract

In this paper, we prove the existence of a countable family of regular spherically symmetric self-similar solutions to focusing energy super-critical semi-linear wave equations \begin{equation*} \partial_{tt}u-\Delta u=|u|^{p-1}u \qquad \text{in} \,\, \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{equation*} where N3N\geq 3, 1+4N2<p1+\frac{4}{N-2}<p, and, if N4N\geq 4, p1+4N3p \leq 1+\frac{4}{N-3}. This was previously known only in the case N=3N=3, for integer pp (see Bizo\'{n}, Maison and Wasserman \cite{BMW}). We also study the asymptotics of these solutions.
