We investigate the radially symmetric, nonlinear wave equationand discuss the asymptotic behaviour as r → ∞ of solutions which are T ‐periodic in time t . It is shown that only two possibilities of decay can arise, namely polynomial like t −½(n−1) and exponential e −bt for some b > 0. Existence results are obtained.
