Abstract

The statistical initial-value problem for a class of weakly coupled waves whose linear dispersion relation is Ω ∞ ± |k| is examined. It is found that in two and higher dimensions a natural asymptotic closure is possible. The redistribution of energy is achieved by means of two mechanisms; the first by a resonance between collinear wave vectors; the second by a local transfer between adjacent rays. The entropy functional is ∫ log n(k) dk and corresponds to particles obeying Bose–Einstein statistics.
