Energy decay for wave equations of -Laplacian type with weakly nonlinear dissipation.
First we prove some new integral inequalities to obtain a precise estimate on behavior at infinity of a positive and not necessarily decreasing functon. This extends in many directions and improves in certain cases some integral inequalities due to A. Haraux, V. Komornik, P. Martinez, M. Eller et al. and F. Alabau-Boussouira concerning decreasing functions. Then we give applications to (internal or boundary, linear or nonlinear) stabilization of certain nondissipative distributed systems,...
We obtain a precise decay estimate of the energy of the solutions to the initial boundary value problem for the wave equation with nonlinear internal and boundary feedbacks. We show that a judicious choice of the feedbacks leads to fast energy decay.
The asymptotic stability of one-dimensional linear Bresse systems under infinite memories was obtained by Guesmia and Kafini [10] (three infinite memories), Guesmia and Kirane [11] (two infinite memories), Guesmia [9] (one infinite memory acting on the longitudinal displacement) and De Lima Santos et al. [6] (one infinite memory acting on the shear angle displacement). When the kernel functions have an exponential decay at infinity, the obtained stability estimates in these papers lead to the exponential...
We consider an initial boundary value problem for the equation . We first prove local and global existence results under suitable conditions on f and g. Then we show that weak solutions decay either algebraically or exponentially depending on the rate of growth of g. This result improves and includes earlier decay results established by the authors.
