Craig W., Wayne C.E. Solutions of Nonlinear Wave Equations and Localization Theory (28K, TeX) ABSTRACT. In this note we describe a new method for constructing time periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations of the form $$ u_{tt} = u_{xx} - g(x,u) \qquad 0 < x < \pi,\; $$ with either periodic or Dirichlet boundary conditions. Details of the proof are not provided, but the main ideas are presented, along with possible extensions of this method.
