Large time behavior of solutions to semilinear systems of wave equations. (English) Zbl 1114.35129
The authors study asymptotic behavior of radially symmetric solutions of the initial value problem to the coupled wave equations $u_{tt}-c_1\triangle u=| v_t| ^p,\;v_{tt}-c_2\triangle v=| u_t| ^q, \;t>0, \;x\in \mathbb{R}^3.$ Under some conditions, they find small global solution of the problem and prove its convergence to a modified “free profile”. Moreover, they find some conditions, for which a global solution cannot exist.
