Decay estimates of solutions of a nonlinearly damped semilinear wave equation

Aissa Guesmia, Salim A. Messaoudi (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider an initial boundary value problem for the equation u t t - Δ u - ϕ · u + f ( u ) + g ( u t ) = 0 . 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.

Decay of solutions of some degenerate hyperbolic equations of Kirchhoff type

Barbara Szomolay (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the damped, nonlinear vibration equation with self-interaction u ¨ = - γ u ˙ + m ( u 2 ) Δ u - δ | u | α u + f , which is known as degenerate if m ( · ) 0 , and non-degenerate if m ( · ) m 0 > 0 . We would like to point out that, to the author’s knowledge, exponential decay for this type of equations has been studied just for the special cases of α . Our aim is to extend the validity of previous results in [5] to α 0 both to the degenerate and non-degenerate cases of m . We extend our results to equations with...

Decay rates of Volterra equations on ℝN

Monica Conti, Stefania Gatti, Vittorino Pata (2007)

Open Mathematics

This note is concerned with the linear Volterra equation of hyperbolic type t t u ( t ) - α Δ u ( t ) + 0 t μ ( s ) Δ u ( t - s ) d s = 0 on the whole space ℝN. New results concerning the decay of the associated energy as time goes to infinity were established.
