We derive the exact late-time asymptotics for small spherically symmetric solutions of nonlinear wave equations with a potential. The dominant tail is shown to result from the competition between linear and nonlinear effects.
We consider the late-time tails of spherical waves propagating on even-dimensional Minkowski spacetime under the influence of a long range radial potential. We show that in six and higher even dimensions there exist exceptional potentials…
For nonlinear wave equations with a potential term we prove pointwise space-time decay estimates and develop a perturbation theory for small initial data. We show that the perturbation series has a positive convergence radius by a method…
In this paper, we study the long time dynamics of solutions to the defocusing semilinear wave equation $\Box_g\phi=|\phi|^{p-1}\phi$ on the Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes. For $\frac{1+\sqrt{17}}{2}<p<5$ and sufficiently smooth and…

We discuss the nonlinear origin of the power-law tail in the long-time evolution of a spherically symmetric self-gravitating massless scalar field in even-dimensional spacetimes. Using third-order perturbation method, we derive explicit…
We consider the scalar wave equation with power nonlinearity in n+1 dimensions. Unlike most previous numerical studies, we go beyond the radial case and do not assume any symmetries for n=3, and we only impose an SO(n-1) symmetry in higher…
In one-dimensional anharmonic lattices, we construct nonlinear standing waves (SWs) reducing to harmonic SWs at small amplitude. For SWs with spatial periodicity incommensurate with the lattice period, a transition by breaking of…
In this paper, we consider the semilinear damped wave equation with nonlinearities of derivative type $|u_t|^p$. We observe that this problem admits a unique global (in time) solution with small initial data for all $p > 1$ in low spatial…
Gravitational-wave tails are due to the backscattering of linear waves onto the space-time curvature generated by the total mass of the matter source. The dominant tails correspond to quadratic non-linear interactions and arise at the…
Nonlinear effects play a fundamental role in the late-time ringdown of black holes, with direct implications for gravitational-wave observations. For massive fields, these dynamics become richer, yet their nonlinear signatures remain poorly…
It is well known that waves propagating in a nontrivial medium develop ``tails''. However, the exact form of the late-time tail has so far been determined only for a narrow class of models. We present a systematic analysis of the tail…
We investigate the lifespan of solutions to a specific variant of the semilinear wave equation, which incorporates weighted nonlinearity $$ u_{tt}-u_{xx} =|x|^\alpha |u|^p, \quad\mbox{for}\;\;\; (t,x)\in (0,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}, $$ where…
We prove nonlinear stability of the fundamental self--similar solution of the wave equation with a focusing power nonlinearity $\psi_{tt}-\Delta \psi=\psi^p$ for $p=3,5,7,...$ in the radial case. The proof is based on a semigroup…
We prove the global leading-order late-time asymptotic behaviour of solutions to inhomogeneous wave equations on dynamical black hole exterior backgrounds that settle down to Schwarzschild backgrounds with arbitrarily small decay rates. In…
