Global attractors for the wave equation with nonlinear damping

Based on a new a priori estimate method, so-called asymptotic a priori estimate, the existence of a global attractor is proved for the wave equation utt+kg(ut)−Δu+f(u)=0 on a bounded domain Ω⊂R³ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The nonlinear damping term g is supposed to satisfy the growth condition C₁(|s|−C₂)?|g(s)|?C₃(1+p|s|), where 1?p<5; the damping parameter is arbitrary; the nonlinear term f is supposed to satisfy the growth condition |f^′(s)|?C₄(1+q|s|), where q?2. It is remarkable that when 2<p<5, we positively answer an open problem in Chueshov and Lasiecka [I. Chueshov, I. Lasiecka, Long-time behavior of second evolution equations with nonlinear damping, Math. Scuola Norm. Sup. (2004)] and improve the corresponding results in Feireisl [E. Feireisl, Global attractors for damped wave equations with supercritical exponent, J. Differential Equations 116 (1995) 431-447].

Rate of decay of solutions of the wave equation with arbitrary localized nonlinear damping

We study the rate of decay of solutions of the wave equation with localized nonlinear damping without any growth restriction and without any assumption on the dynamics. Providing regular initial data, the asymptotic decay rates of the energy functional are obtained by solving nonlinear ODE. Moreover, we give explicit uniform decay rates of the energy. More precisely, we find that the energy decays uniformly at last, as fast as 1/(ln(t+2))^2−δ,∀δ>0, when the damping has a polynomial growth or sublinear, and for an exponential damping at the origin the energy decays at last, as fast as 1/(ln(ln(t+e²)))^2−δ,∀δ>0.

Global attractor for a non-autonomous integro-differential equation in materials with memory

The long-time behavior of an integro-differential parabolic equation of diffusion type with memory terms, expressed by convolution integrals involving infinite delays and by a forcing term with bounded delay, is investigated in this paper. The assumptions imposed on the coefficients are weak in the sense that uniqueness of solutions of the corresponding initial value problems cannot be guaranteed. Then, it is proved that the model generates a multivalued non-autonomous dynamical system which possesses a pullback attractor. First, the analysis is carried out with an abstract parabolic equation. Then, the theory is applied to the particular integro-differential equation which is the objective of this paper. The general results obtained in the paper are also valid for other types of parabolic equations with memory.     

Global existence, asymptotic behavior and blow-up of solutions for coupled Klein-Gordon equations with damping terms

This paper studies the Cauchy problem for the coupled system of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with damping terms. We first state the existence of standing wave with ground state, based on which we prove a sharp criteria for global existence and blow-up of solutions when E(0)<d. We then introduce a family of potential wells and discuss the invariant sets and vacuum isolating behavior of solutions for 0<E(0)<d and E(0)≤0, respectively. Furthermore, we prove the global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions for the case of potential well family with 0<E(0)<d. Finally, a blow-up result for solutions with arbitrarily positive initial energy is obtained.     

Global and blow-up solutions for a quasilinear hyperbolic equation with strong damping

In this paper, we study a quasilinear hyperbolic equation with strong damping. Firstly, by use of the successive approximation method and a series of classical estimates, we prove the local existence and uniqueness of a weak solution. Secondly, via some inequalities, the potential method and the concave method, we derive the asymptotic and blow-up behavior of the weak solution with different conditions.     

Global solution and asymptotic behavior for the variable coefficient beam equation with nonlinear damping

This paper is concerned with the initial‐boundary value problem for a variable coefficient beam equation with nonlinear damping. Such a model arises from the vertical deflections of a damped extensible elastic inhomogeneous beam whose density depends on time and position. By using the Faedo–Galerkin method and energy method, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of global strong solution. Furthermore, the exponential decay estimate for the total energy is also derived. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global small amplitude solutions for two-dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon systems in the presence of mass resonance

We consider a nonlinear system of two-dimensional Klein-Gordon equations with masses m₁, m₂ satisfying the resonance relation m₂=2m₁>0. We introduce a structural condition on the nonlinearities under which the solution exists globally in time and decays at the rate O(|t|⁻¹) as t→±∞ in L^∞. In particular, our new condition includes the Yukawa type interaction, which has been excluded from the null condition in the sense of J.-M. Delort, D. Fang and R. Xue [J.-M. Delort, D. Fang, R. Xue, Global existence of small solutions for quadratic quasilinear Klein-Gordon systems in two space dimensions, J. Funct. Anal. 211 (2004) 288-323].     

On decay and blow-up of the solution for a viscoelastic wave equation with boundary damping and source terms

In this paper we consider the decay and blow-up properties of a viscoelastic wave equation with boundary damping and source terms. We first extend the decay result (for the case of linear damping) obtained by Lu et al. (On a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear boundary damping and source terms: Global existence and decay of the solution, Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications 12 (1) (2011), 295-303) to the nonlinear damping case under weaker assumption on the relaxation function g(t). Then, we give an exponential decay result without the relation between g^′(t) and g(t) for the linear damping case, provided that ‖g‖_L¹(0,∞) is small enough. Finally, we establish two blow-up results: one is for certain solutions with nonpositive initial energy as well as positive initial energy for both the linear and nonlinear damping cases, the other is for certain solutions with arbitrarily positive initial energy for the linear damping case.     

Global and periodic solutions for nonlinear wave equations with some localized nonlinear dissipation

We discuss the existence of global or periodic solutions to the nonlinear wave equation with the boundary condition , where Ω is a bounded domain in R^N,ρ(x,v) is a function like ρ(x,v)=a(x)g(v) with g′(v)?0 and β(x,u) is a source term of power nonlinearity. a(x) is assumed to be positive only in a neighborhood of a part of the boundary ∂Ω and the stability property is very delicate, which makes the problem interesting.

Global attractor for a nonlinear wave equation arising in elastic waveguide model

The paper studies the longtime behavior of solutions to the initial boundary value problem (IBVP) for a nonlinear wave equation arising in an elastic waveguide model _utt−Δu−Δ_utt+Δ²u−Δ_ut−Δg(u)=f(x)$u_{tt}-\Delta u-\Delta u_{tt}+{\Delta }^{2}u-\Delta u_t-\Delta g\left(u\right)=f\left(x\right)$. It proves that when the space dimension N≤5$N\le 5$, under rather mild conditions the dynamical system associated with the above-mentioned IBVP possesses a global attractor which is connected and has finite fractal and Hausdorff dimension.

In the present paper, we deal with the long-time behavior of dissipative partial differenttial equations, and we construct the approximate inertial mardfolds for the nonlbaear Stringer equation with a zero order dlssipation. The order of approximation of these manlfolde to the global attractor is derived.     

A note on parabolic equation with nonlinear dynamical boundary condition

We consider a semilinear parabolic equation subject to a nonlinear dynamical boundary condition that is related to the so-called Wentzell boundary condition. First we prove the existence and uniqueness of global solutions as well as the existence of a global attractor. Then we derive a suitable ?ojasiewicz-Simon type inequality to show the convergence of global solutions to single steady states as time tends to infinity under the assumption that the nonlinear terms f,g are real analytic. Moreover, we provide an estimate for the convergence rate.

This paper is concerned with a suspension bridge equation with memory effects , defined in a bounded domain of . For the suspension bridge equation without memory, there are many classical results. Existing results mainly devoted to existence and uniqueness of a weak solution, energy decay of solution and existence of global attractors. However the existence of global attractors for the suspension bridge equation with memory was no yet considered.
