Research paper thumbnail of Decay estimates of solutions of a nonlinearly damped semilinear wave equation

Annales Polonici Mathematici, 2005

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.

Under some restrictions on the nonlinearity of the damping and the source terms, we prove that, for certain class of relaxation functions and for some restrictions on the initial data, the rate of decay of the total energy depends on those of the relaxation functions. This result improves many results in the literature, such as the ones in Messaoudi and Tatar (Appl. Anal. 87(3):247–263, 2008) and Liu (Nonlinear Anal. 71:2257–2267, 2009) in which only the exponential and polynomial decay rates are considered.

Research paper thumbnail of General energy decay estimates of Timoshenko systems with frictional versus viscoelastic damping

We establish a general stability estimate using the multiplier method and some properties of convex functions. Without imposing any growth condition on h at the origin, we show that the energy of the system is bounded above by a quantity, depending on g and h, which tends to zero as time goes to infinity. Our estimate allows us to consider a large class of functions h with general growth at the origin. We use some examples (known in the case of wave equations and Maxwell system) to show how to derive from our general estimate the polynomial, exponential or logarithmic decay. The results of this paper improve and generalize some existing results in the literature and generate some interesting open problems. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
