The blow-up curve of solutions of mixed problems for semilinear wave equations with exponential nonlinearities in one space dimension, II
We consider the following Darboux problem for the functional differential equation a.e. in [0,a]×[0,b], u(x,y) = ψ(x,y) on [-a₀,a]×[-b₀,b]where the function is defined by for (s,t) ∈ [-a₀,0]×[-b₀,0]. We prove a theorem on existence of the Carathéodory solutions of the above problem.
The energy in a square membrane Ω subject to constant viscous damping on a subset decays exponentially in time as soon as ω satisfies a geometrical condition known as the “Bardos-Lebeau-Rauch” condition. The rate of this decay satisfies (see Lebeau [Math. Phys. Stud.19 (1996) 73–109]). Here denotes the spectral abscissa of the damped wave equation operator and is a number called the geometrical quantity of ω and defined as follows. A ray in Ω is the trajectory generated by the free motion...
We prove an observability estimate for a wave equation with rapidly oscillating density, in a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary condition.
