Abstract
This paper is devoted to the study of asymptotic behaviors of solutions to the one-dimensional defocusing semilinear wave equations. We prove that finite energy solution tends to zero in the pointwise sense, hence improving the averaged decay of Lindblad and Tao [4]. Moreover, for sufficiently localized data belonging to some weighted energy space, the solution decays in time with an inverse polynomial rate. This confirms a conjecture raised in the mentioned work. The results are based on new weighted vector fields as multipliers applied to regions bounded by light rays. The key observation for the first result is an integrated local energy decay for the potential energy, while the second result relies on a type of weighted Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality.
