The decay of a profile artificially produced on a crystal surface below its roughening transition is studied by means of a qualitative theory. In the case of a bidirectional modulation the height h(t) is a linear function of time t and the lifetime τ is proportional to λ 3 h(0), where λ is the wavelength. As suggested by Bonzel et al. the formation of facets is a sensitive information to determine whether a surface is below its roughening temperature. Near the flat part the profile has a (x-x 0 ) 3/2 singularity as in a crystal at equilibrium. The case of a unidirectionnel modulation is still open although some heuristic give a qualitative agreement with experimental results Etude theorique et qualitative de l'evolution de sillons creuses a la surface d'un monocristal en dessous de sa temperature de transition rugueuse
