We investigate the initial-value problem for the semilinear plate equation containing localized strong damping, localized weak damping and nonlocal nonlinearity. We prove that if nonnegative damping coefficients are strictly positive almost everywhere in the exterior of some ball and the sum of these coefficients is positive a.e. in $%
\mathbb{R}
^{n}$, then the semigroup generated by the considered problem possesses a global attractor in $H^{2}\left(
\mathbb{R}
^{n}\right) \times L^{2}\left(
\mathbb{R}
^{n}\right) $. We also establish boundedness of this attractor in $ H^{3}\left(
\mathbb{R}
^{n}\right) \times H^{2}\left(
\mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) $.
This paper concerns estimates of the lifespan of solutions to the semilinear damped wave equation. We give upper estimates of the lifespan for the semilinear damped wave equation with variable coefficients in all space dimensions.
We study the global existence of solutions to semilinear damped wave equations in the scattering case with derivative power-type nonlinearity on (1+3) dimensional nontrapping asymptotically Euclidean manifolds. The main idea is to exploit local energy estimate, together with local existence to convert the parameter $μ$ to small one.
We consider initial value problem for semilinear damped wave equations in three space dimensions. We show the small data global existence for the problem without the spherically symmetric assumption and obtain the sharp lifespan of the solutions. This paper is devoted to a proof of the Takamura's conjecture on the lifespan of solutions.
In this paper we proceed with the multiscale analysis of semilinear damped stochastic wave motions. The analysis is made by combining the well-known sigma convergence method with its stochastic counterpart, associated to some compactness results such as the Prokhorov and Skorokhod theorems. We derive the equivalent model, which is of the same type as the micro-model.
In this short notice, we prove the non-existence of global solutions to the semilinear damped wave equation on the half-space, and we determine the critical exponent for any space dimension.
We consider the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equations with variable coefficients a(x) having power type nonlinearity |u|^p. We discuss the global existence of solutions for small initial data and investigate the relation between the range of a(x) and the order p.
We study two-dimensional semilinear strongly damped wave equation with mixed nonlinearity $|u|^p+|u_t|^q$ in an exterior domain, where $p,q>1$. Assuming the smallness of initial data in exponentially weighted spaces and some conditions on powers of nonlinearity, we prove global (in time) existence of small data energy solution with suitable higher regularity by using a weighted energy method.
We study the global existence of solutions to semilinear wave equations with power-type nonlinearity and general lower order terms on $n$ dimensional nontrapping asymptotically Euclidean manifolds, when $n=3, 4$. In addition, we prove almost global existence with sharp lower bound of the lifespan for the four dimensional critical problem.
This paper is concerned about the lifespan estimate to the Cauchy problem of semilinear damped wave equations with the Fujita critical exponent in high dimensions$(n\geq 4)$. We establish the sharp upper bound of the lifespan in the following form \begin{equation}\nonumber\\ \begin{aligned} T(\varepsilon)\leq \exp(C\varepsilon^{-\frac 2n}), \end{aligned} \end{equation} by using the heat kernel as the test function.
In this paper we consider the blow-up for solutions to a weakly coupled system of semilinear damped wave equations of derivative type in the scattering case. After introducing suitable functionals proposed by Lai-Takamura for the corresponding single semilinear equation, we employ Kato's lemma to derive the blow-up result in the subcritical case. On the other hand, in the critical case an iteration procedure based on the slicing method is employed. Let us point out that we find as critical curve in the p-q plane for the pair of exponents (p, q) in the nonlinear terms the same one as for the we…
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions for the semilinear damped wave equation with variable coefficients. We prove that if the damping is effective, and the nonlinearity and other lower order terms can be regarded as perturbations, then the solution is approximated by the scaled Gaussian of the corresponding linear parabolic problem. The proof is based on the scaling variables and energy estimates.
We prove the global existence of small data solution in all space dimension for weakly coupled systems of semi-linear effectively damped wave, with different time-dependent coefficients in the dissipation terms. Moreover, nonlinearity terms $ f(t,u) $ and $ g(t,v) $ satisfying some properties of the parabolic equation. We study the problem in several classes of regularity.
The aim of this paper is to prove a blow up result of the solution for a semilinear scale invariant damped wave equation under a suitable decay condition on radial initial data. The admissible range for the power of the nonlinear term depends both on the damping coefficient and on the pointwise decay order of the initial data. In addition we give an upper bound estimate for the lifespan of the solution, in terms of the power of the nonlinearity, size and growth of initial data.
We consider the semilinear damped wave equation $\partial_{tt}^2 u(x,t)+γ(x)\partial_t u(x,t)=Δu(x,t)-αu(x,t)-f(x,u(x,t))$. In this article, we obtain the first results concerning the stabilization of this semilinear equation in cases where $γ$ does not satisfy the geometric control condition. When some of the geodesic rays are trapped, the stabilization of the linear semigroup is semi-uniform in the sense that $\|e^{At}A^{-1}\|\leq h(t)$ for some function $h$ with $h(t)\rightarrow 0$ when $t\rightarrow +\infty$. We provide general tools to deal with the semilinear stabilization problem in the…
This paper is concerned with decay estimate of solutions to the semilinear wave equation with strong damping in a bounded domain. Introducing an appropriate Lyaponuv function, we prove that when the damping is linear, we can find initial data, for which the solution decays exponentially. This result improves an early one in an article of Gazzola and Squassina.
In this note, we prove a blow-up result for the semilinear damped wave equation in a compact Lie group with power nonlinearity $|u|^p$ for any $p>1$, under suitable integral sign assumptions for the initial data, by using an iteration argument. A byproduct of this method is the upper bound estimate for the lifespan of a local in time solution. As a preliminary result, a local (in time) existence result is proved in the energy space via Fourier analysis on compact Lie groups.
In this paper we consider a multi-dimensional damped semiliear wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions, related to the Kelvin-Voigt damping. We firstly prove the local existence by using the Faedo-Galerkin approximations combined with a contraction mapping theorem. Secondly, the exponential growth of the energy and the $L^p$ norm of the solution is presented.
In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem for the semilinear damped wave equation $u_{tt}-Δu + u_t = h(u);\qquad u(0;x) = f(x); \quad u_t(0;x) = g(x);$ where $h(s) = |s|^{1+2/n}μ(|s|)$. Here n is the space dimension and $μ$ is a modulus of continuity. Our goal is to obtain sharp conditions on $μ$ to obtain a threshold between global (in time) existence of small data solutions (stability of the zerosolution) and blow-up behavior even of small data solutions.
In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem in an exterior domain for semilinear strongly damped wave equations with power nonlinear term of the derivative-type $|u_t|^q$ or the mixed-type $|u|^p+|u_t|^q$, where $p,q>1$. On one hand, employing the Banach fixed-point theorem we prove local (in time) existence of mild solutions. On the other hand, under some conditions for initial data and the exponents of power nonlinear terms, the blow-up results are derived by applying the test function method.
In this paper we consider a multi-dimensional wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions, related to the Kelvin-Voigt damping. Global existence and asymptotic stability of solutions starting in a stable set are proved. Blow up for solutions of the problem with linear dynamic boundary conditions with initial data in the unstable set is also obtained.
We prove by using an iteration argument some blow-up results for a semilinear damped wave equation in generalized Einstein-de Sitter spacetime with a time-dependent coefficient for the damping term and power nonlinearity. Then, we conjecture an expression for the critical exponent due to the main blow-up results, which is consistent with many special cases of the considered model and provides a natural generalization of Strauss exponent. In the critical case, we consider a non-autonomous and parameter-dependent Cauchy problem for a linear ODE of second-order, whose explicit solutions are deter…
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for the semilinear damped wave equation on the Heisenberg group with power nonlinearity. We prove that the critical exponent is the Fujita exponent $p_{\mathrm{Fuj}}(\mathscr{Q}) = 1+2 / \mathscr{Q}$, where $\mathscr{Q}$ is the homogeneous dimension of the Heisenberg group. On the one hand, we will prove the global existence of small data solutions for $p >p_{\mathrm{Fuj}}(\mathscr{Q})$ in an exponential weighted energy space. On the other hand, a blow-up result for $1 < p \leq p_{\mathrm{Fuj}}(\mathscr{Q})$ under certain integral sign assumptions …
The open question, which seems to be also the final part, in terms of studying the Cauchy problem for the weakly coupled system of damped wave equations or reaction-diffusion equations, is so far known as the sharp lifespan estimates in the critical case. In this paper, we mainly investigate lifespan estimates for solutions to the weakly coupled system of semilinear damped wave equations in the critical case. By using a suitable test function method associated with nonlinear differential inequalities, we catch upper bound estimates for the lifespan. Moreover, we establish polynomial-logarithmi…
In this paper we study a semilinear wave equation with nonlinear, time-dependent damping in one space dimension. For this problem, we prove a well-posedness result in $W^{1,\infty}$ in the space-time domain $(0,1)\times [0,+\infty)$. Then we address the problem of the time-asymptotic stability of the zero solution and show that, under appropriate conditions, the solution decays to zero at an exponential rate in the space $W^{1,\infty}$. The proofs are based on the analysis of the corresponding semilinear system for the first order derivatives, for which we show a contractive property of the in…
In this work we study the blow-up of solutions of a weakly coupled system of damped semilinear wave equations in the scattering case with power nonlinearities. We apply an iteration method to study both the subcritical case and the critical case. In the subcritical case our approach is based on lower bounds for the space averages of the components of local solutions. In the critical case we use the slicing method and a couple of auxiliary functions, recently introduced by Wakasa-Yordanov, to modify the definition of the functionals with the introduction of weight terms. In particular, we find …
It is well-known that the critical exponent for semilinear damped wave equations is Fujita exponent when the damping is effective. Lai, Takamura and Wakasa in 2017 have obtained a blow-up result not only for super-Fujita exponent but also for the one closely related to Strauss exponent when the damping is scaling invariant and its constant is relatively small,which has been recently extended by Ikeda and Sobajima. Introducing a multiplier for the time-derivative of the spatial integral of unknown functions, we succeed in employing the technics on the analysis for semilinear wave equations and …
In this paper we consider the blow-up of solutions to a weakly coupled system of semilinear damped wave equations in the scattering case with nonlinearities of mixed type, namely, in one equation a power nonlinearity and in the other a semilinear term of derivative type. The proof of the blow-up results is based on an iteration argument. As expected, due to the assumptions on the coefficients of the damping terms, we find as critical curve in the p-q plane for the pair of exponents (p,q) in the nonlinear terms the same one found by Hidano-Yokoyama and, recently, by Ikeda-Sobajima-Wakasa for th…
We study semilinear damped wave equations with power nonlinearity $|u|^p$ and initial data belonging to Sobolev spaces of negative order $\dot{H}^{-γ}$. In the present paper, we obtain a new critical exponent $p=p_{\mathrm{crit}}(n,γ):=1+\frac{4}{n+2γ}$ for some $γ\in(0,\frac{n}{2})$ and low dimensions in the framework of Soblev spaces of negative order. Precisely, global (in time) existence of small data Sobolev solutions of lower regularity is proved for $p>p_{\mathrm{crit}}(n,γ)$, and blow-up of weak solutions in finite time even for small data if $1<p<p_{\mathrm{crit}}(n,γ)$. Furthermore, …

In this paper we study several semilinear damped wave equations with "subcritical" nonlinearities, focusing on demonstrating lifespan estimates for energy solutions. Our main concern is on equations with scale-invariant damping and mass. Under different assumptions imposed on the initial data, lifespan estimates from above are clearly showed. The key fact is that we find "transition surfaces", which distinguish lifespan estimates between "wave-like" and "heat-like" behaviours. Moreover we conjecture that the lifespan estimates on the "transition surfaces" can be logarithmically improved. As di…
In this paper, we discuss the global existence of weak solutions to the semilinear damped wave equation \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \partial_t^2u-Δu + \partial_tu = f(u) & \text{in}\ Ω\times (0,T), \\ u=0 & \text{on}\ \partialΩ\times (0,T), \\ u(0)=u_0, \partial_tu(0)=u_1 & \text{in}\ Ω, \end{cases} \end{equation*} in an exterior domain $Ω$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ $(N\geq 2)$, where $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ is a smooth function behaves like $f(u)\sim |u|^p$. From the view point of weighted energy estimates given by Sobajima--Wakasugi \cite{SoWa4}, the existence of global-in-time solutions wi…
In this paper, we analyze a semilinear damped second order evolution equation with time-dependent time delay and time-dependent delay feedback coefficient. The nonlinear term satisfies a local Lipschitz continuity assumption. Under appropriate conditions, we prove well-posedness and exponential stability of our model for small initial data. Our arguments combine a Lyapunov functional approach with some continuity arguments. Moreover, as an application of our abstract results, the damped wave equation with a source term and delay feedback is analyzed.
In this paper we study the long time behavior for a semilinear wave equation with space-dependent and nonlinear damping term. After rewriting the equation as a first order system, we define a class of approximate solutions that employ tipical tools of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, such as the Riemann problem. By recasting the problem as a discrete-time nonhomogeneous system, which is related to a probabilistic interpretation of the solution, we provide a strategy to study its long-time behavior uniformly with respect to the mesh size parameter $Δx=1/N\to 0$. The proof makes use of t…
Under consideration is the damped semilinear wave equation \[ u_{tt}+u_t-Δu+u+f(u)=0 \] in a bounded domain $Ω$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ subject to an acoustic boundary condition with a singular perturbation, which we term "massless acoustic perturbation," \[ \epδ_{tt}+δ_t+δ= -u_t\quad\text{for}\quad \ep\in[0,1]. \] By adapting earlier work by S. Frigeri, we prove the existence of a family of global attractors for each $\ep\in[0,1]$. We also establish the optimal regularity for the global attractors, as well as the existence of an exponential attractor, for each $\ep\in[0,1].$ The later result insure…
We consider a transmission problem where a structurally damped plate equation is coupled with a damped or undamped wave equation by transmission conditions. We show that exponential stability holds in the damped-damped situation and polynomial stability (but no exponential stability) holds in the damped-undamped case. Additionally, we show that the solutions first defined by the weak formulation, in fact have higher Sobolev space regularity.
We consider the transmission problem for a coupled system of undamped and structurally damped plate equations in two sufficiently smooth and bounded subdomains. It is shown that, independently of the size of the damped part, the damping is strong enough to produce uniform exponential decay of the energy of the coupled system.
Under fairly general assumptions, we prove that every compact invariant subset $\mathcal I$ of the semiflow generated by the semilinear damped wave equation εu_{tt}+u_t+β(x)u-\sum_{ij}(a_{ij} (x)u_{x_j})_{x_i}&=f(x,u),&& (t,x)\in[0,+\infty[\timesΩ, u&=0,&&(t,x)\in[0,+\infty[\times\partialΩin $H^1_0(Ω)\times L^2(Ω)$ is in fact bounded in $D(\mathbf A)\times H^1_0(Ω)$. Here $Ω$ is an arbitrary, possibly unbounded, domain in $\R^3$, $\mathbf A u=β(x)u-\sum_{ij}(a_{ij}(x)u_{x_j})_{x_i}$ is a positive selfadjoint elliptic operator and $f(x,u)$ is a nonlinearity of critical growth. The nonlinearity …
In this paper, we give positive answer to the open question raised in [E. Zuazua, Exponential decay for the semilinear wave equation with localized damping in unbounded domains. J. Math. Pures Appl., 70 (1991) 513--529] on the exponential decay of solutions for the semilinear plate equation with localized damping.
This paper is concerned with the stability of the inverse source problem for the damped biharmonic plate equation in three dimensions. The stability estimate consists of the Lipschitz type data discrepancy and the high frequency tail of the source function, where the latter decreases as the upper bound of the frequency increases. The stability also shows exponential dependence on the constant damping coefficient. The analysis employs Carleman estimates and time decay estimates for the damped plate wave equation to obtain an exact observability bound and depends on the study of the resonance-fr…
The problem of blow up of solutions to the initial boundary value problem for non-autonomous semilinear wave equation with damping and accelerating terms under the Robin boundary condition is studied. Sufficient conditions of blow up in a finite time of solutions to semilinear damped wave equations with arbitrary large initial energy are obtained. A result on blow up of solutions with negative initial energy of semilinear second order wave equation with accelerating term is also obtained.
