On energy decay estimates for weak dissipative wave equations with oscillating time-dependent coefficient in the dissipative term

We consider the behavior of the total energy for the wave equation with the dissipative term. When the dissipative term works well uniformly in every direction, several authors obtain uniform decay estimates of the total energy. On the other hand, if the dissipative term is small enough uniformly in every direction, it is known that there exists a solution whose total energy does not decay. We examine the case that the dissipative term vanishes only in a neighborhood of a half-line. We introduce a uniform decay property, which is a natural generalization of the uniform decay estimates, and show that this property does not hold in our case. We prove this by constructing asymptotic solutions supported in the place where the dissipative term vanishes.

Decay estimates for dissipative wave equations in exterior domains

This paper deals with the construction of a family of fourth order, energy consistent, explicit time discretizations for dissipative linear wave equations. The schemes are obtained by replacing the inversion of a matrix, that comes naturally after using the technique of the Modified Equation on the second order Leap Frog scheme applied to dissipative linear wave equations, by explicit approximations of its inverse. The stability of the schemes are studied using an energy analysis and a convergence analysis is carried out. Numerical results in 1D illustrate the space/time convergence properties of the schemes and their efficiency is compared to more classical time discretizations.

In this paper, we study the long time behavior of solutions to a weakly dissipative fractional Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation on the real line R. The main difficulty lies in that the dissipative term is a nonlocal operator. We overcome this difficulty by the commutator estimates and product estimates associated with fractional Laplacian. The asymptotical compactness of solution semigroup is proved by the tail estimates. Finally, we conclude the existence of (H2(R), H5(R)) global attractor of the weakly dissipative fractional KdV equation.

In this paper, we propose a copulation of the local fractional variational iteration technique and local fractional natural transform (LFNT) for solving the dissipative and damped wave equations with local fractional derivatives. The convergence analysis for the solution obtained through this newly suggested method is also discussed. The numerical simulations for computed solutions are presented on the Cantor set. The computational procedure shows that the newly proposed local fractional method pertaining to the LFNT is very easy and effective to generate solutions for given local fractional wave equations (LFWEs). Moreover, the generated solutions are also in nice correspondence with the previous results acquired by other existing techniques.

We study the global existence of small data solutions to the Cauchy problem for the coupled system of semilinear damped wave equations with different effective dissipation terms and different exponents of power nonlinearities. The data are supposed to belong to different classes of regularity. We will show the interaction of the exponents p and q on the one hand and on the other hand the interaction of the dissipation terms b1(t)ut and b2(t)vt.

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to a class of non-autonomous stochastic nonlinear wave equations with dispersive and viscosity dissipative terms driven by operator-type noise defined on the entire space $\mathbb {R}^n$. The existence, uniqueness, time-semi-uniform compactness and asymptotically autonomous robustness of pullback random attractors are proved in $H^1(\mathbb {R}^n)\times H^1(\mathbb {R}^n)$ when the growth rate of the nonlinearity has a subcritical range, the density of the noise is suitably controllable, and the time-dependent force converges to a time-independent function in some sense. The main difficulty to establish the time-semi-uniform pullback asymptotic compactness of the solutions in $H^1(\mathbb {R}^n)\times H^1(\mathbb {R}^n)$ is caused by the lack of compact Sobolev embeddings on $\mathbb {R}^n$, as well as the weak dissipativeness of the equations is surmounted at light of the idea of uniform tail-estimates and a spectral decomposition approach. The measurability of random attractors is proved by using an argument which considers two attracting universes developed by Wang and Li (Phys. D 382: 46–57, 2018).

Uniform stability and chaotic dynamics in nonhomogeneous linear dissipative scalar ordinary differential equations

A kind of nonlinear equation with dissipative term ∊x + x = ∊F(ōt, x), with ō ∊ Rd and d ∊ N, is considered in this paper. Here function F is real analytic. Based on the Renormalizaion Group techniques and Multiscale techniques, the existence of quasi-periodic solutions have been proved for the above-mentioned equation. This generalizes the known results in the existing literatures.

The aim of this paper is to derive higher order energy estimates for solutions to the Cauchy problem for damped wave models with time-dependent propagation speed and dissipation. The model of interest is \begin{equation*} u_{tt}-\lambda^2(t)\omega^2(t)\Delta u +\rho(t)\omega(t)u_t=0, \quad u(0,x)=u_0(x), \,\, u_t(0,x)=u_1(x). \end{equation*} The coefficients $\lambda=\lambda(t)$ and $\rho=\rho(t)$ are shape functions and $\omega=\omega(t)$ is an oscillating function. If $\omega(t)\equiv1$ and $\rho(t)u_t$ is an "effective" dissipation term, then $L^2-L^2$ energy estimates are proved in [2]. In contrast, the main goal of the present paper is to generalize the previous results to coefficients including an oscillating function in the time-dependent coefficients. We will explain how the interplay between the shape functions and oscillating behavior of the coefficient will influence energy estimates.

Global existence and decay for nonlinear dissipative wave equations with a derivative nonlinearity

Exact solutions and invariants of motion for general types of regularized long wave equations

Presented herein is a new method for analysing the long-time behaviour of solutions of nonlinear, dispersive, dissipative wave equations. The method is applied to the generalized Korteweg–de Vries equation posed on the entire real axis, with a homogeneous dissipative mechanism included. Solutions of such equations that commence with finite energy decay to zero as time becomes unboundedly large. In circumstances to be spelled out presently, we establish the existence of a universal asymptotic structure that governs the final stages of decay of solutions. The method entails a splitting of Fourier modes into long and short wavelengths which permits the exploitation of the Hamiltonian structure of the equation obtained by ignoring dissipation. We also develop a helpful enhancement of Schwartz's inequality. This approach applies particularly well to cases where the damping increases in strength sublinearly with wavenumber. Thus the present theory complements earlier work using centre-manifold and group-renormalization ideas to tackle the situation wherein the nonlinearity is quasilinear with regard to the dissipative mechanism.

In this paper the time domain scattering problem of a stratified dissipative half‐space excited by a point source is considered. Both the direct and inverse scattering problem are treated. The dissipative wave equation is reduced to an equation in one spatial dimension by spatial Fourier series and a Hankel transform. The transformed wave equation is then solved by a combination of a time domain wave‐splitting technique and a Green function technique. The Green functions represent the internal fields inside the stratified medium. The splitting is expressed in terms of a Neumann operator K which has an explicit expression as a convolution integral with a Bessel function kernel. Based upon this wave splitting, Green functions can be defined and a set of first order partial differential equations for Green functions are derived. The equations are well suited for a numerical treatment and a number of numerical examples for both the direct and inverse problems are presented. A brief discussion of the invariant imbedding method applied to the direct and inverse scattering problem is also given. It is shown that one‐sided reflection data are sufficient to reconstruct the phase velocity and the dissipation coefficient simultaneously by using two different values of the Hankel transform parameter.

The dissipative wave equation with a critical quintic non-linearity in smooth bounded three-dimensional domain is considered. Based on the recent extension of the Strichartz estimates to the case of bounded domains, the existence of a compact global attractor for the solution semigroup of this equation is established. Moreover, the smoothness of the obtained attractor is also shown.
