Synopsis

Large time behaviour of solutions to a damped quasi-linear wave equation are studied. Conditions are obtained which guarantee the global existence of a classical solution. The asymptotic behaviour of this solution is studied in the case of a unique equilibrium solution and in the case of multiple equilibria. The results are applied to various special examples.
