Abstract: In this paper, we use Dafermos-Rodnianski's new vector field method to study the asymptotic pointwise decay properties for solutions of energy subcritical defocusing semilinear wave equations in $mathbb{R}^{1+3}$. We prove that the solution decays as quickly as linear waves for $p>frac1+sqrt172$, covering part of the sub-conformal case, while for the range $2<pleqfrac1+sqrt172$, the solution still decays with rate at least $t^{-frac13}$. As a consequence, the solution scatters in energy space when $p>2.3542$. We also show that the solution is uniformly bounded when $p>frac32$.

Review text

In this paper, the author investigates the pointwise decay properties for solutions of energy subcritical defocusing semilinear wave equations in \(\mathbb{R}^{1+3}\), \(\partial_t^2 \phi -\Delta \phi =-|\phi|^{p-1}\phi\) (\(1<p<5\)). By using Dafermos-Rodnianski's vector field method, it is shown that the solution decays as quickly as linear waves (with decay rate \((1+t+|x|)^{-1}(1+|t-|x||)^{-\gamma}\) for some \(\gamma>0\) for \(p >(1+\sqrt{17})/2\), covering part of the sub-conformal case (\(p<3\)), while for the range \(2 < p\le (1+\sqrt{17})/2\), the solution still decays, with rate at least \((1+t+|x|)^{-1/3}\). As a consequence, when \(p > 2.3542\), the solution scatters in energy space. In addition, the author shows uniformly boundedness for the solution when \(p > 3/2 \).
