  • We propose a more general setup for prethermalization in the system of interacting waves. The idea lies in dividing the multi-wave interactions into trivial and nontrivial ones. The trivial interactions will dress waves and lead to a less strongly interacting system which is statistically equivalent to the original one. With this in mind, we find that prethermalization occurs not only in the weakly interacting regime but also in the strongly interacting regime. The irreversible process towards equilibrium is governed by the Zakharov equation, from which double scaling of the thermalization time is expected. Finally, the theory is well confirmed in numerical experiments.
