Abstract
We consider semilinear equations of the form $p(D)u=F(u)$, with a locally bounded nonlinearity $F(u)$, and a linear part $p(D)$ given by a Fourier multiplier. The multiplier $p(\xi)$ is the sum of positively homogeneous terms, with at least one of them non smooth. This general class of equations includes most physical models for traveling waves in hydrodynamics, the Benjamin-Ono equation being a basic example.  We prove sharp pointwise decay estimates for the solutions to such equations, depending on the degree of the non smooth terms in $p(\xi)$. When the nonlinearity is smooth we prove similar estimates for the derivatives of the solution, as well as holomorphic extension to a strip, for analytic nonlinearity.
