Abstract

This paper deals with the asymptotic theory of initial value problems for semilinear wave equations in three space dimensions. The well-posedness and validity of formal approximations on a long time scale of order ∣ε∣−1 are discussed in the classical sense of C 2. This result describes accuratively the approximations of solutions. At the end of this paper, an application of the asymptotic theory is given to analyze a special model for a perturbed wave equation.
