Abstract
We study the initial value problem posed by the small amplitude free oscillations of a bubble in a viscous fluid. The solution consists of a linear combination of discrete normal modes and an integral over a continuous spectrum. The continuous spectrum dominates the solution for large times. As a result, the surface deformation ultimately decays algebraically and not as a modulated damped wave, as has sometimes been suggested.Keywords
