Renormalized waves and thermalization of the Klein-Gordon equation

We study the thermalization of the classical Klein-Gordon equation under a u[superscript 4] interaction. We numerically show that even in the presence of strong nonlinearities, the local thermodynamic equilibrium state exhibits a weakly nonlinear behavior in a renormalized wave basis. The renormaliz...
