Abstract: This work proposes a new way for handling obstacles to asymptotic integrability in perturbed nonlinear PDEs within the method of Normal Forms - NF - for the case of multi-wave solutions. Instead of including the whole obstacle in the NF, only its resonant part is included, and the remainder is assigned to the homological equation. This leaves the NF intergable and its solutons retain the character of the solutions of the unperturbed equation. We exploit the freedom in the expansion to construct canonical obstacles which are confined to te interaction region of the waves. Fo soliton solutions, e.g., in the KdV equation, the interaction region is a finite domain around the origin; the canonical obstacles then do not generate secular terms in the homological equation. When the interaction region is infifnite, or semi-infinite, e.g., in wave-front solutions of the Burgers equation, the obstacles may contain resonant terms. The obstacles generate waves of a new type, which cannot be written as functionals of the solutions of the NF. When an obstacle contributes a resonant term to the NF, this leads to a non-standard update of th wave velocity.
