Asymptotic stability of abstract dissipative systems with infinite memory

We consider in this paper the problem of asymptotic behavior of solutions to an abstract linear dissipative integrodifferential equation with infinite memory (past history) modeling linear viscoelasticity. We show that the stability of the system holds for a much larger class of the convolution kernels than the one considered in the literature, and we provide a relation between the decay rate of the solutions and the growth of the kernel at infinity. Some applications are also given.     

The optimal decay rate for a weak dissipative Bresse system

In this work we consider the Bresse system with frictional damping operating only on the angle displacement and we show that under a certain assertion the solution decays polynomially and the decay rate is optimal.     

Asymptotic stability of neutral differential systems with many delays

We are concerned with delay-independent asymptotic stability of linear system of neutral differential equations. We first establish a sufficient and necessary condition for the system to be delay-independently asymptotically stable, and then give some equivalent stability conditions. This paper improves many recent results on the asymptotic stability in the literature. One example is given to show that the sufficient and necessary condition is easy to verify.     

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.

Asymptotic stability and instability of the solutions of systems with impulse action

In this paper, we study the stability of the zero solution of a system of ordinary differential equations subject to impulse action. Using the method of Lyapunov functions, we obtain tests for asymptotic stability or instability of the system. Illustrative examples are given.     

Asymptotic behavior of Timoshenko beam with dissipative boundary feedback

This paper is concerned with the stabilization problem of Timoshenko beam in the presence of linear dissipative boundary feedback controls. Using C₀-semigroups theory we establish the existence and the uniqueness of solution of the proposed closed loop system. In order to consider the asymptotic behavior of the closed loop system, we first discuss the existence of nonzero solution of a closely related boundary value problem. Then we derive various necessary and sufficient conditions for the system to be asymptotically stable. Finally, we prove the equivalence between the exponential stability and the asymptotic stability for the closed loop system.     

Influence of anti-diagonals on the asymptotic stability for linear differential systems

Sufficient conditions are given for asymptotic stability of the linear differential system x′  =  B(t)x with B(t) being a 2  ×  2 matrix. All components of B(t) are not assumed to be positive. The matrix B(t) is naturally divisible into a diagonal matrix D(t) and an anti-diagonal matrix A(t). Our concern is to clarify a positive effect of the anti-diagonal part A(t)x on the asymptotic stability for the system x′  =  B(t)x.      

Asymptotic stability of linear multistep methods for nonlinear neutral delay differential equations

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution to initial value problems of nonlinear delay differential equations of neutral type. We use A-stable linear multistep methods to compute the numerical solution. The asymptotic stability of the A-stable linear multistep methods when applied to the nonlinear delay differential equations of neutral type is investigated, and it is shown that the A-stable linear multistep methods with linear interpolation are GAS-stable. We validate our conclusions by numerical experiments.     

Some new simple stability criteria of linear neutral systems with a single delay

This article mainly considers the linear neutral delay-differential systems with a single delay. Using the characteristic equation of the system, new simple delay-independent asymptotic and exponential stability criteria are derived in terms of the matrix measure, the spectral norm and the spectral radius of the corresponding matrices. Numerical examples demonstrate that our criteria are less conservative than those of previous corresponding results [L.M. Li, Stability of linear neutral delay-differential systems, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 38 (1988) 339–344; G.D. Hu, G.D. Hu. Some simple criteria for stability of neutral delay-differential systems, Appl. Math. Comput. 80 (1996) 257–271; D.Q.

Asymptotic and total stability for generalized dynamical systems

The existence of solutions to a class of nonlinear problems depending on a parameter is proved using the Gaierkin method The principal difficulty is that when the parameter crosses a critical value the bound edness of the approximate solutions is no longer obvious. Applications are indicated.     

Asymptotic stability of solitary wave solutions to the regularized long-wave equation

We study the asymptotic stability of solitary wave solutions to the regularized long-wave equation (RLW) in . RLW is an equation which describes the long waves in water. To prove the result, we make use of the monotonicity of the local H¹-norm and apply the Liouville property of (RLW) as in Merle and Martel (J. Math. Pures Appl. 79 (2000) 339; Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 157 (2001) 219).     

Asymptotic stability of relaxation shock profiles for hyperbolic conservation laws

This paper studies the asymptotic stability of traveling relaxation shock profiles for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. Under a stability condition of subcharacteristic type the large time relaxation dynamics on the level of shocks is shown to be determined by the equilibrium conservation laws. The proof is due to the energy principle, using the weighted norms, the interaction of waves from various modes is treated by imposing suitable weight matrix.     

On the rate of decay in interacting continua with memory

This paper is concerning the linear theory of isothermal interacting continua with memory. We consider anti-plane shear deformations in a mixture of two elastic solids where the dissipation mechanisms can be the viscosity in one of the components and the viscosity with respect to the relative displacement. We have seen that when the only dissipation mechanism applies on the relative displacement we cannot expect the exponential decay for the solutions. We have also analyzed the case when the viscosity mechanism applies on a constituent. We have seen that generically the decay is of exponential type. However if the coupling constitutive parameter vanishes the decay is slow.     

Asymptotic stability of impulsive stochastic partial differential equations with infinite delays

In this paper, we study the existence and asymptotic stability in pth moment of mild solutions to nonlinear impulsive stochastic partial differential equations with infinite delay. By employing a fixed point approach, sufficient conditions are derived for achieving the required result. These conditions do not require the monotone decreasing behaviour of the delays.     

Asymptotic stability and boundedness for functional differential equations

We study a system(D)x′=F(t,x _t) of functional differential equations, together with a scalar equation(S)x′=−a(t)f(x)+b(t)g(x(t−h)) as well as perturbed forms. A Liapunov functional is constructed which has a derivative of a nature that has been widely discussed in the literature. On the basis of this example we prove results for (D) on asymptotic stability and equi-boundedness. Supported in part by NSF of China, Key Project # 19331060
