This paper is concerned with the study of the wave equation on compact surfaces and locally distributed damping. We study the case where the damping is effective in a well-chosen subset of arbitrarily small measure.
In this paper, we study the direct/indirect stability of locally coupled wave equations with local Kelvin-Voigt dampings/damping and by assuming that the supports of the dampings and the coupling coefficients are disjoint. First, we prove the well-posedness, strong stability, and polynomial stability for some one dimensional coupled systems. Moreover, under some geometric control condition, we prove the well-posedness and strong stability in the multi-dimensional case.
We consider the initial value problem for the semilinear wave equation with time-dependent effective damping. The interest is the behavior of lifespan of solutions in view of the asymptotic profile of the damping as $t\to \infty$. The result of this paper is the sharp lifespan estimates of blowup solutions for general time-dependent damping including threshold cases between effective and overdamping.
We study a nonlocal evolution equation modeling the deformation of a bridge, either a footbridge or a suspension bridge. Contrarily to the previous literature we prove the asymptotic stability of the considered model with a minimum amount of damping which represents less cost of material. The result is also numerically proved.
We consider a coupled wave system with partial Kelvin-Voigt damping in the interval (-1,1), where one wave is dissipative and the other does not. When the damping is effective in the whole domain (-1,1) it was proven in H.Portillo Oquendo and P.Sanez Pacheco, optimal decay for coupled waves with Kelvin-voigt damping, Applied Mathematics Letters 67 (2017), 16-20. That the energy is decreasing over the time with a rate equal to $t^{-\frac{1}{2}}$. In this paper, using the frequency domain method we show the effect of the coupling and the non smoothness of the damping coefficient on the energy de…
We consider the Klein-Gordon system posed in an inhomogeneous medium with smooth boundary subject to a local viscoelastic damping distributed around a neighborhoodof the boundary according to the Geometric Control Condition. We show that the energy of the system goes uniformly and exponentially to zero for all initial data of finite energy taken in bounded sets of finite energy phase-space. For this purpose, refined microlocal analysis arguments are considered by exploiting ideas due to Burq and Gerard . By using sharp Carleman estimates we prove a unique continuation property for coupled syst…
In this paper, we investigate the energy decay of hyperbolic systems of wave-wave, wave-Euler- Bernoulli beam and beam-beam types. The two equations are coupled through boundary connection with only one localized non-smooth fractional Kelvin-Voigt damping. First, we reformulate each system into an augmented model and using a general criteria of Arendt-Batty, we prove that our models are strongly stable. Next, by using frequency domain approach, combined with multiplier technique and some interpolation inequalities, we establish different types of polynomial energy decay rate which depends on t…
This paper is concerned with locally damped semilinear wave equations defined on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We present a construction of measure-controlled damping regions which are sharp in the sense that their summed interior and boundary measures are arbitrarily small. The construction of this class of open sets is purely geometric and allows us to prove a new observability inequality in terms of potential energy rather than the usual one with kinetic energy. A unique continuation property is also proved. Then, in three-dimension spaces, we establish the existence of finite…
In this work, we consider a system of multidimensional wave equations coupled by velocities with one localized fractional boundary damping. First, using a general criteria of Arendt- Batty, by assuming that the boundary control region satisfy some geometric conditions, under the equality speed propagation and the coupling parameter of the two equations is small enough, we show the strong stability of our system in the absence of the compactness of the resolvent. Our system is not uniformly stable in general since it is the case of the interval. Hence, we look for a polynomial decay rate for sm…
We consider the following semilinear wave equation with time-dependent damping. \begin{align} \tag{NLDW} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \partial_t^2 u - Δu + b(t)\partial_t u = |u|^{p}, & (t,x) \in [0,T) \times \mathbb{R}^n, \\ u(0,x)=\varepsilon u_0(x), u_t(0,x)=\varepsilon u_1(x), & x \in \mathbb{R}^n, \end{array} \right. \end{align} where $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $p>1$, $\varepsilon>0$, and $b(t)\thickapprox (t+1)^{-β}$ with $β\in [-1,1)$. It is known that small data blow-up occurs when $1<p< p_F$ and, on the other hand, small data global existence holds when $p>p_F$, where $p_F:=1+2/n$ is the Fujita…
We give an elementary proof of sharp decay rates and the linear inviscid damping near monotone shear flow in a periodic channel, first obtained in [14]. We shall also obtain the precise asymptotics of the solutions, measured in the space $L^{\infty}$.
We consider a class of linear second order differential equations with damping and external force. We investigate the link between a uniform bound on the forcing term and the corresponding ultimate bound on the velocity of solutions, and we study the dependence of that bound on the damping and on the "elastic force". We prove three results. First of all, in a rather general setting we show that different notions of bound are actually equivalent. Then we compute the optimal constants in the scalar case. Finally, we extend the results of the scalar case to abstract dissipative wave-type equation…
This paper is devoted to Bresse systems, a robust model for circular beams, given by a set of three coupled wave equations. The main objective is to establish the existence of global attractors for dynamics of semilinear problems with localized damping. In order to deal with localized damping a unique continuation property (UCP) is needed. Therefore we also provide a suitable UCP for Bresse systems. Our strategy is to set the problem in a Riemannian geometry framework and see the system as a single equation with different Riemann metrics. Then we perform Carleman-type estimates to get our resu…
We revisit the damped wave equation on two-dimensional torus where the damped region does not satisfy the geometric control condition. We show that if the damping vanishes as a Hölder function $|x|^β$, and in addition, the boundary of the damped region is strictly convex, the wave is stable at rate $t^{-1+\frac{2}{2β+7}}$, which is better than the known optimal decay rate $t^{-1+\frac{1}{β+3}}$ for strip-shaped dampings of the same Hölder regularity. Moreover, we show by example that the decay rate is optimal. This illustrates the fact that the energy decay rate depends not only on the order o…
We consider the dynamic elasticity equation, modeled by the Euler-Bernoulli plate equation, with a locally distributed singular structural (or viscoelastic ) damping in a boundary domain. Using a frequency domain method combined, based on the Burq's result, combined with an estimate of Carleman type we provide precise decay estimate showing that the energy of the system decays logarithmically as the type goes to the infinity.
We investigate the stabilization of a locally coupled wave equations with only one internal viscoelastic damping of Kelvin-Voigt type. The main novelty in this paper is that both the damping and the coupling coefficients are non smooth. First, using a general criteria of Arendt-Batty, combined with an uniqueness result, we prove that our system is strongly stable. Next, using a spectrum approach, we prove the non-exponential (uniform) stability of the system. Finally, using a frequency domain approach, combined with a piecewise multiplier technique and the construction of a new multiplier sati…
In this paper, we study the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a locally distributed damping on a smooth bounded domain as well as on the whole space and on an exterior domain. We first construct approximate solutions using the theory of monotone operators. We show that approximate solutions decay exponentially fast in the $L^2$-sense by using the multiplier technique and a unique continuation property. Then, we prove the global existence as well as the $L^2$-decay of solutions for the original model by passing to the limit and using a weak lower semicontinuity argument, respective…
We study decay rates for the energy of solutions of the damped wave equation on the torus. We consider dampings invariant in one direction and bounded above and below by multiples of $x^β$ near the boundary of the support and show decay at rate $1/t^{\frac{β+2}{β+3}}$. In the case where $W$ vanishes exactly like $x^β$ this result is optimal by work of the second author. The proof uses a version of the Morawetz multiplier method.
We characterize the $L^2$ decay rate of solutions to the 3D magneto-micropolar system in terms of the decay character of the initial datum. Due to a linear damping term, the micro-rotational field has a faster decay rate. We also address the asymptotic behaviour of solutions by comparing them to solutions to the linear part. As a result of the linear damping, the difference between the micro-rotational field and its linear part also decays faster. As part of the proofs of these results, we prove estimates for the derivatives of solutions which might be of independent interest.

In this paper we study Cauchy problem for thermoelastic plate equations with friction or structural damping in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq1$, where the heat conduction is modeled by Fourier's law. We explain some qualitative properties of solutions influenced by different damping mechanisms. We show which damping in the model has a dominant influence on smoothing effect, energy estimates, $L^p-L^q$ estimates not necessary on the conjugate line, and on diffusion phenomena. Moreover, we derive asymptotic profiles of solutions in a framework of weighted $L^1$ data. In particular, sharp decay estimates…

We study blow-up behavior of solutions for the Cauchy problem of the semilinear wave equation with time-dependent damping. When the damping is effective, and the nonlinearity is subcritical, we show the blow-up rates and the sharp lifespan estimates of solutions. Upper estimates are proved by an ODE argument, and lower estimates are given by a method of scaling variables.
We study the decay of global energy for the wave equation with Hölder continuous damping placed on the $C^{1,1}$-boundary of compact and non-compact waveguides with star-shaped cross-sections. We show there is sharp $t^{-1/2}$-decay when the damping is uniformly bounded from below on the cylindrical wall of product cylinders where the Geometric Control Condition is violated. On non-product cylinders, we also show that there is $t^{-1/3}$-decay when the damping is uniformly bounded from below on the cylindrical wall.
This paper is concerned with long-time dynamics of semilinear wave equations defined on bounded domains of $\mathbb{R}^3$ with cubic nonlinear terms and locally distributed damping. The existence of regular finite-dimensional global attractors established by Chueshov, Lasiecka and Toundykov (2008) reflects a good deal of the current state of the art on this matter. Our contribution is threefold. First, we prove uniform boundedness of attractors with respect to a forcing parameter. Then, we study the continuity of attractors with respect to the parameter in a residual dense set. Finally, we sho…

In this paper, we consider the longitudinal and transversal vibrations of the transmission Euler-Bernoulli beam with Kelvin-Voigt damping distributed locally on any subinterval of the region occupied by the beam and only in one side of the transmission point. We prove that the semigroup associated with the equation for the transversal motion of the beam is exponentially stable, although the semigroup associated with the equation for the longitudinal motion of the beam is polynomially stable. Due to the locally distributed and unbounded nature of the damping, we use a frequency domain method an…
In this paper, we study the indirect stability of Timoshenko system with local or global Kelvin-Voigt damping, under fully Dirichlet or mixed boundary conditions. Unlike the results of H. L. Zhao, K. S. Liu, and C. G. Zhang and of X. Tian and Q. Zhang, in this paper, we consider the Timoshenko system with only one locally or globally distributed Kelvin-Voigt damping. Indeed, we prove that the energy of the system decays polynomially and that the obtained decay rate is in some sense optimal. The method is based on the frequency domain approach combining with multiplier method.
In this paper, we investigate the direct and indirect stability of locally coupled wave equations with local viscous damping on cylindrical and non-regular domains without any geometric control condition. If only one equation is damped, we prove that the energy of our system decays polynomially with the rate $t^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ if the two waves have the same speed of propagation, and with rate $t^{-\frac{1}{3}}$ if the two waves do not propagate at the same speed. Otherwise, in case of two damped equations, we prove a polynomial energy decay rate of order $t^{-1}$.
In this paper, we consider some blow-up problems for the 1D Euler equation with time and space dependent damping. We investigate sufficient conditions on initial data and the rate of spatial or time-like decay of the coefficient of damping for the occurrence of the finite time blow-up. In particular, our sufficient conditions ensure that the derivative blow-up occurs in finite time with the solution itself and the pressure bounded. Our method is based on simple estimates with Riemann invariants. Furthermore, we give sharp lower and upper estimates of the lifespan of solutions, when initial dat…
The purpose of this work is to investigate the exponential stability of a second order coupled wave equations by laplacian with one locally internal viscous damping. Firstly, using a unique continuation theorem combined with a Carleman estimate, we prove that our system is strongly stable without any geometric condition. Secondly, using a combination of the multiplier techniques and the frequency domain approach, we show that our system is exponentially stable under \textbf{(PMGC)} condition on the damping region without any restriction on wave propagation speed (i.e whether the two wave equat…
In this paper we consider elastic waves with Kelvin-Voigt damping in 2D. For the linear problem, applying pointwise estimates of the partial Fourier transform of solutions in the Fourier space and asymptotic expansions of eigenvalues and their eigenprojections, we obtain sharp energy decay estimates with additional $L^m$ regularity and $L^p-L^q$ estimates on the conjugate line. Furthermore, we derive asymptotic profiles of solutions under different assumptions of initial data. For the semilinear problem, we use the derived $L^2-L^2$ estimates with additional $L^m$ regularity to prove global (i…
In the present paper, we are concerned with the semilinear viscoelastic wave equation subject to a locally distributed dissipative effect of Kelvin-Voigt type, posed on a bounded domain with smooth boundary. We begin with an auxiliary problem and we show that its solution decays exponentially in the weak phase space. The method of proof combines an observability inequality and unique continuation properties. Then, passing to the limit, we recover the original model and prove its global existence as well as the exponential stability.
We consider the gravity-capillary water waves problem in a domain $Ω_t \subset \mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{R}$ with substantial geometric features. Namely, we consider a variable bottom, smooth obstacles in the flow and a constant background current. We utilize a vortex sheet model introduced by Ambrose, et. al. in arXiv:2108.01786. We show that the water waves problem is locally-in-time well-posed in this geometric setting and study the lifespan of solutions. We then add a damping term and derive evolution equations that account for the damper. Ultimately, we show that the same well-posedness a…
This paper is concerned with weighted energy estimates for solutions to wave equation $\partial_t^2u-Δu + a(x)\partial_tu=0$ with space-dependent damping term $a(x)=|x|^{-α}$ $(α\in [0,1))$ in an exterior domain $Ω$ having a smooth boundary. The main result asserts that the weighted energy estimates with weight function like polymonials are given and these decay rate are almost sharp, even when the initial data do not have compact support in $Ω$. The crucial idea is to use special solution of $\partial_t u=|x|^αΔu$ including Kummer's confluent hypergeometric functions.
The aim of this paper is to determine the critical exponent for the nonlinear wave equations with damping and potential terms of the scale invariant order, by assuming that these terms satisfy a special relation. We underline that our critical exponent is different from the one for related equations such as the nonlinear wave equation without lower order terms, only with a damping term, and only with a potential term. Moreover, we study the effect of the decaying order of initial data at spatial infinity. In fact, we prove that not only the lower order terms but also the order of the initial d…
Global Uniqueness and Stability in Determining the Damping Coefficient of an Inverse Hyperbolic Problem with Non-Homogeneous Neumann B.C. through an Additional Dirichlet Boundary Trace
In this article, we study energy decay of the damped wave equation on compact Riemannian manifolds where the damping coefficient is anisotropic and modeled by a pseudodifferential operator of order zero. We prove that the energy of solutions decays at an exponential rate if and only if the damping coefficient satisfies an anisotropic analogue of the classical geometric control condition, along with a unique continuation hypothesis. Furthermore, we compute an explicit formula for the optimal decay rate in terms of the spectral abscissa and the long-time averages of the principal symbol of the d…
The dependence of the fractal dimension of global attractors for the damped 3D Euler--Bardina equations on the regularization parameter $α>0$ and Ekman damping coefficient $γ>0$ is studied. We present explicit upper bounds for this dimension for the case of the whole space, periodic boundary conditions, and the case of bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The sharpness of these estimates when $α\to0$ and $γ\to0$ (which corresponds in the limit to the classical Euler equations) is demonstrated on the 3D Kolmogorov flows on a torus.
