Abstract

In this paper, we consider a nonlinear wave equation associated with the Dirichlet boundary condition. First, the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution are proved by using the Faedo-Galerkin method. Next, we present an asymptotic expansion of high order in many small parameters of a weak solution. This extends recent corresponding results where an asymptotic expansion of a weak solution in two or three small parameters is established.
