Abstract: We consider the long-time behavior of small amplitude solutions of the semilinear wave equation $Boxphi=ph{i}^p$ in odd $dgeq5$ spatial dimensions. We show that for the quadratic nonlinearity ($p=2$) the tail has an anomalously small amplitude and fast decay. The extension of the results to more general nonlinearities involving first derivatives is also discussed.
