Abstract

In this paper, we show that for almost every \(m>0\), the solution to the semi-linear Klein–Gordon equation associated with the harmonic oscillator, with small initial data, exists over a longer time interval than the one given by local existence theory, using the normal form method. A similar result for the quadratic wave equation is also obtained.
