Decay rates of solutions to thermoviscoelastic plates with memory

We consider the thermoelastic plate under the presence of along range memory. We find uniform rates of decay (in time)of the energy, provided that suitable assumptions on the relaxationfunctions are given. Namely, if the relaxation decays exponentiallythen the first order energy also decays exponentially. Whenthe relaxation g satisfies -c₁g(t)^1+1/_p g'(t) -c_og(t)^1+1/_p; and g,g^1-1/_p L¹ (R) withp > 2 then the energy decays as 1/(1+t)^p. A new Liapunov functionalis built for this problem.     

Uniform Rates of Decay in Anisotropic Thermo-Viscoelasticity

We consider the anisotropic and inhomogeneous thermo-viscoelastic equation. We prove that the first and second-order energy decay exponentially as time goes to infinity provided the relaxation function also decays exponentially to zero. While if the relaxation functions decay polynomially to zero, then the energy decays also polynomially. That is, the kernel of the convolution defines the rate of decay of the solution.     

Stability of travelling wave solutions to a semilinear hyperbolic system with relaxation

We study a semilinear hyperbolic system with relaxation and investigate the asymptotic stability of travelling wave solutions with shock profile. It is shown that the travelling wave solution is asymptotically stable, provided the initial disturbance is suitably small. Moreover, we show that the time convergence rate is polynomially (resp. exponentially) fast as t→∞ if the initial disturbance decays polynomially (resp. exponentially) for x→∞. Our proofs are based on the space–time weighted energy method. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Exponential decay of non‐linear wave equation with a viscoelastic boundary condition

We study in this paper the global existence and exponential decay of solutions of the non‐linear unidimensional wave equation with a viscoelastic boundary condition. We prove that the dissipation induced by the memory effect is strong enough to secure global estimates, which allow us to show existence of global smooth solution for small initial data. We also prove that the solution decays exponentially provided the resolvent kernel of the relaxation function, k decays exponentially. When k decays polynomially, the solution decays polynomially and with the same rate. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A transmission problem with non‐linear internal damping in elasticity

We consider an anisotropic body constituted by two different types of materials: a part is simple elastic while the other has a non‐linear internal damping. We show that the dissipation caused by the damped part is strong enough to produce uniform decay of the energy, more precisely, the energy decays exponentially when the dissipation is linear with respect to the velocity. For a non‐linear class of dissipations we prove that the energy decays polynomially. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Asymptotic behaviour of the energy for electromagnetic systems with memory

Some linear evolution problems arising in the theory of hereditary electromagnetism are considered here. Making use of suitable Liapunov functionals, existence of solutions as well as asymptotic behaviour, are determined for rigid conductors with electric memory. In particular, we show the polynomially decay of the solutions, when the memory kernel decays exponentially or polynomially. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the Kirchhoff plates equations with thermal effects and memory boundary conditions

In this paper we study the existence of weak and strong global solutions and uniform decay of the energy to the Kirchhoff plates equations with thermal effect and memory conditions working at the boundary. We show that the dissipation produced by the memory effect not depend on the present values of temperature gradient. That is, we show that the dissipation produced by memory effect is strong enough to produce exponential decay of the solution provided the relaxation functions also decays exponentially. When the relaxation functions decays polynomially, we show that the solution decays polynomially with the same rate.     

Decay estimates for second order evolution equations with memory

This paper develops a unified method to derive decay estimates for general second order integro-differential evolution equations with semilinear source terms. Depending on the properties of convolution kernels at infinity, we show that the energy of a mild solution decays exponentially or polynomially as t→+∞. Our approach is based on integral inequalities and multiplier techniques.These decay results can be applied to various partial differential equations. We discuss three examples: a semilinear viscoelastic wave equation, a linear anisotropic elasticity model, and a Petrovsky type system.     

Asymptotic behavior of the energy for a class of weakly dissipative second-order systems with memory

A class of second-order abstract systems with memory and Dirichlet boundary conditions is investigated. By suitable Liapunov functionals, existence of solutions as well as asymptotic behavior, are determined. In particular, when the memory kernel decays exponentially, the polynomially decay of the solutions is proved.     

Slow decay of Gibbs measures with heavy tails

We consider Glauber dynamics reversible with respect to Gibbs measures with heavy tails in the case when spins are unbounded. The interactions are bounded and of finite range. The self-potential enters into two classes of measures, κ-concave probability measures and sub-exponential laws, for which it is known that no exponential decay can occur. Using coercive inequalities we prove that, for κ-concave probability measures, the associated infinite volume semi-group decays to equilibrium polynomially and stretched exponentially for sub-exponential laws. This improves and extends previous results by Bobkov and Zegarlinski.     

Fast Binary Embeddings and Quantized Compressed Sensing with Structured Matrices

This paper deals with two related problems, namely distance-preserving binary embeddings and quantization for compressed sensing. First, we propose fast methods to replace points from a subset Χ ⊂ ℝⁿ , associated with the euclidean metric, with points in the cube {±1}^m , and we associate the cube with a pseudometric that approximates euclidean distance among points in Χ. Our methods rely on quantizing fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss embeddings based on bounded orthonormal systems and partial circulant ensembles, both of which admit fast transforms. Our quantization methods utilize noise shaping, and include sigma-delta schemes and distributed noise-shaping schemes. The resulting approximation errors decay polynomially and exponentially fast in m, depending on the embedding method. This dramatically outperforms the current decay rates associated with binary embeddings and Hamming distances. Additionally, it is the first such binary embedding result that applies to fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss maps while preserving ℓ₂ norms. Second, we again consider noise-shaping schemes, albeit this time to quantize compressed sensing measurements arising from bounded orthonormal ensembles and partial circulant matrices. We show that these methods yield a reconstruction error that again decays with the number of measurements (and bits), when using convex optimization for reconstruction. Specifically, for sigma-delta schemes, the error decays polynomially in the number of measurements, and it decays exponentially for distributed noise-shaping schemes based on beta encoding. These results are near optimal and the first of their kind dealing with bounded orthonormal systems. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Well-posedness and asymptotic stability to a laminated beam in thermoelasticity of type III

This paper is concerned with the well-posedness and asymptotic behaviour of solutions to a laminated beam in thermoelasticity of type III. We first obtain the well-posedness of the system by using semigroup method. We then investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the system through the perturbed energy method. We prove that the energy of system decays exponentially in the case of equal wave speeds and decays polynomially in the case of nonequal wave speeds. Under the case of nonequal wave speeds, we also investigate the lack of exponential stability of the system.     

Radially symmetric solutions of the p-Laplacian in perforated-like domain with nonlocal boundary condition

In this paper, we study the stability of solutions to a von Kármán system for Kirchhoff plate equations with a memory condition working at the boundary. We show that such dissipation is strong enough to produce exponential decay of the solution provided the relaxation functions also decay exponentially. When the relaxation functions decay polynomially, we show that the solution decays polynomially.     

A note on decay properties for the solutions of a class of partial differential equation with memory

The purpose of this article is to study decay properties for solutions of a class of PDEs with memory by Lyapunov functionals method. Moreover, we prove that when the kernels of the convolutions decay exponentially, the first and second order energy of the solutions decay exponentially. Also we show that when the kernels decay polynomially, these energies decay polynomially.     

On the decay rates of Timoshenko system with second sound

In this work, we study the well‐posedness and the asymptotic stability of a one‐dimensional linear thermoelastic Timoshenko system, where the heat conduction is given by Cattaneo's law and the coupling is via the displacement equation. We prove that the system is exponentially stable provided that the stability number χ_τ=0. Otherwise, we show that the system lacks exponential stability. Furthermore, in the latter case, we show that the solution decays polynomially. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Exponential stability for a contact problem in thermoelasticity

We consider the unilateral problem for the thermoelastic equationand we show that the solution decays exponentially to zero astime goes to infinity; that is, denoting by E(t) the first-orderenergy of the system, we show that positive constants C and exist which satisfy E(t)CE(0)e^–$$$.     

Nonlinear stability of traveling wave fronts for delayed reaction diffusion systems

This paper is concerned with nonlinear stability of traveling wave fronts for a delayed reaction diffusion system. We prove that the traveling wave front is exponentially stable to perturbation in some exponentially weighted L^∞ spaces, when the difference between initial data and traveling wave front decays exponentially as x→−∞, but the initial data can be suitable large in other locations. Moreover, the time decay rates are obtained by weighted energy estimates.     

Exponential decay in thermoelastic materials with voids and dissipative boundary without thermal dissipation

We study the energy decay of the solutions of a linear homogeneous anisotropic porous thermoelastic system in the context of Green and Naghdi model of type II with the following boundary condition with memory for the displacement ${{\bf T}(x,t)n(x) = -\gamma_0v(x,t) - \int_0^\infty \lambda(s)v^t(x,s) {{d}}s}$ . By introducing a boundary free energy, we prove that if the kernel λ exponentially decays in time, then also the energy exponentially decays when porosity viscosity is present.     

Lack of exponential stability to Timoshenko system with viscoelastic Kelvin–Voigt type

We study the Timoshenko systems with a viscoelastic dissipative mechanism of Kelvin–Voigt type. We prove that the model is analytical if and only if the viscoelastic damping is present in both the shear stress and the bending moment. Otherwise, the corresponding semigroup is not exponentially stable no matter the choice of the coefficients. This result is different to all others related to Timoshenko model with partial dissipation, which establish that the system is exponentially stable if and only if the wave speeds are equal. Finally, we show that the solution decays polynomially to zero as \({t^{-1/2}}\) , no matter where the viscoelastic mechanism is effective and that the rate is optimal whenever the initial data are taken on the domain of the infinitesimal operator.
