Abstract

The global attraction is proved for solutions to 3D Klein–Gordon equation coupled to several nonlinear point oscillators. Our main result is a convergence of each finite energy solution to the set of all solitary waves as $t \to \pm \: \infty$. This attraction is caused by the nonlinear energy transfer from lower harmonics to the continuous spectrum and subsequent dispersion radiation.

We justify this mechanism by the following strategy based on inflation of spectrum by the nonlinearity. We show that any omega-limit trajectory has the time-spectrum in the spectral gap $[-m, m]$ and satisfies the original equation. Then the application of the Titchmarsh convolution theorem reduces the time-spectrum to a single harmonic $\omega \in [-m, m]$.
