We are interested in large time behavior of solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations of evolution. More precisely we deal with the Initial-Value Problem for nonlinear equations which are perturbations of classical linear equations like: the Wave Equation, Klein-Gordon Equation, Linear Isotropic Elasticity Equations, Heat Equation, Schr6dinger Equation, etc. The aim is to show that for sufficiently small nonlinear perturbations the corresponding solutions behave asymptotically like the solutions of the linear equations. In particular, we recover and extend our earlier results on global existence for nonlinear wave equations [1]. As in that work our method relies on a special version of the powerful Nash-Moser-H6rmander scheme which allows us to treat a very large class of perturbations. The method seems to be particularly suited for hyperbolic equations; however, we attempt here a treatement of other classical equations like the Heat Equation and the Schr6dinger Equation. For some specific examples our method is too rough and indiscriminate to give optimal results. In particular, for the special class of semilinear perturbations our results are weaker than what is available in the literature. However, we can allow here perturbations which contain, in general, derivatives of the same order as the linear part, for which the classical methods used in the semilinear case do not seem to work.
