Abstract
The dynamics of cylindrical and spherical relativistic domain walls is investigated with the help of a new method based on the Taylor expansion of the scalar field in a vicinity of the core of the wall. Internal oscillatory modes for the domain walls are found. These modes are nonanalytic in the "width" of the domain wall. A rather nontrivial transformation to a special coordinate system, widely used in investigations of relativistic domain walls, is studied in detail.
