Abstract

We study the asymptotic behavior in time of the solutions of a system of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations. We have two basic results: First, in the L(3) norm, solutions decay like 0(t3/2) as t+ provided the initial data are sufficiently small. Finally we prove that finite energy solutions of such a system decay in local energy norm as t+.
