Exponential energy decay of solutions for a system of viscoelastic wave equations of Kirchhoff type with strong damping

The initial boundary value problem for a system of viscoelastic wave equations of Kirchhoff type with strong damping is considered. We prove that, under suitable assumptions on relaxation functions and certain initial data, the decay rate of the solutions energy is exponential.     

Asymptotic profiles for wave equations with strong damping

We consider the Cauchy problem in Rⁿ${\mathbf{R}}^n$ for strongly damped wave equations. We derive asymptotic profiles of these solutions with weighted L^1,1(Rⁿ)$L^{1,1}({\mathbf{R}}^n)$ data by using a method introduced in [9] and/or [10].     

Stability of attractors for the Kirchhoff wave equation with strong damping and critical nonlinearities

The paper investigates longtime dynamics of the Kirchhoff wave equation with strong damping and critical nonlinearities: $u_{tt}?(1+?{\Vert \mathrm{?}u\Vert }^2)\mathrm{\Delta }u?\mathrm{\Delta }{u}_t+h(u_t)+g(u)=f(x)$, with $?\in [0,1]$. The well-posedness and the existence of global and exponential attractors are established, and the stability of the attractors on the perturbation parameter ? is proved for the IBVP of the equation provided that both nonlinearities $h(s)$ and $g(s)$ are of critical growth.     

Weak and strong solutions for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping

In this paper, we show that the Cauchy problem of the Navier-Stokes equations with damping α|u|^β−1u(α>0) has global weak solutions for any β?1, global strong solution for any β?7/2 and that the strong solution is unique for any 7/2?β?5.     

Asymptotic profile of solutions for some wave equations with very strong structural damping

We consider the Cauchy problem in R ⁿ for some types of damped wave equations. We derive asymptotic profiles of solutions with weighted L^1,1( R ⁿ) initial data by using a simple method introduced in by the first author. The obtained results will include regularity loss type estimates, which are essentially new in this kind of equation.     

On the uniqueness of strong solution to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping

In this paper, we show that the Cauchy problem of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping α|u|^β−1u(α>0) has global strong solution for any β>3 and the strong solution is unique when 3<β?5. This improves earlier results.     

Time-dependent propagation speed vs strong damping for degenerate linear hyperbolic equations

We consider a degenerate abstract wave equation with a time-dependent propagation speed. We investigate the influence of a strong dissipation, namely a friction term that depends on a power of the elastic operator.We discover a threshold effect. If the propagation speed is regular enough, then the damping prevails, and therefore the initial value problem is well-posed in Sobolev spaces. Solutions also exhibit a regularizing effect analogous to parabolic problems. As expected, the stronger is the damping, the lower is the required regularity.On the contrary, if the propagation speed is not regular enough, there are examples where the damping is ineffective, and the dissipative equation behaves as the non-dissipative one.     

Global existence and energy decay for a coupled system of Kirchhoff type equations with damping and source terms

This paper deals with the global existence and energy decay of solutions to some coupled system of Kirchhoff type equations with nonlinear dissipative and source terms in a bounded domain. We obtain the global existence by defining the stable set in H ₀ ¹ (Ω) × H ₀ ¹ (Ω), and the energy decay of global solutions is given by applying a lemma of V. Komornik.     

Decay estimates of solutions for the wave equations with strong damping terms in unbounded domains

This paper is concerned with some uniform energy decay estimates of solutions to the linear wave equations with strong dissipation in the exterior domain case. We shall derive the decay rate such as $(1+t)E(t)\le C$\nopagenumbers\end for some kinds of weighted initial data, where E(t) represents the total energy. Our method is based on the combination of the argument due to Ikehata–Matsuyama with the Hardy inequality, which is an improvement of Morawetz method. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optimal control problems for Kirchhoff type equation with a damping term

Optimal control problems are studied for the equation of Kirchhoff type with a damping term. The Gâteaux differentiability of solution mapping on control variables is proved and the various types of necessary optimality conditions corresponding to the distributive and terminal value observations are established.     

Stabilization of the Kirchhoff type wave equation with locally distributed damping

We derive energy decay estimates of the Kirchhoff type wave equation with a localized damping term in a bounded domain. The damping coefficient function may act alive only on a neighborhood of some part of the boundary.     

Existence and asymptotic behaviour of solutions to weakly damped wave equations of Kirchhoff type with nonlinear damping and source terms

Finite-dimensional attractors for the Kirchhoff equation with a strong dissipation

The paper studies the existence of the finite-dimensional global attractors and exponential attractors for the dynamical system associated with the Kirchhoff type equation with a strong dissipation utt−M(‖∇u^‖2)Δu−Δut+h(ut)+g(u)=f(x). It proves that the above mentioned dynamical system possesses a global attractor which has finite fractal dimension and an exponential attractor. For application, the fact shows that for the concerned viscoelastic flow the permanent regime (global attractor) can be observed when the excitation starts from any bounded set in phase space, and the dimension of the attractor, that is, the number of degree of freedom of the turbulent phenomenon and thus the level of complexity concerning the flow, is finite.     

Stochastic wave equations with dissipative damping

We prove existence and (in some special case) uniqueness of an invariant measure for the transition semigroup associated with the stochastic wave equations with nonlinear dissipative damping.     

On the cases of Kirchhoff and Chaplygin of the Kirchhoff equations

It is proven that the completely integrable general Kirchhoff case of the Kirchhoff equations for B ?? 0 is not an algebraic complete integrable system. Similar analytic behavior of the general solution of the Chaplygin case is detected. Four-dimensional analogues of the Kirchhoff and the Chaplygin cases are defined on e(4) with the standard Lie-Poisson bracket.     

Ground states for nonlinear Kirchhoff equations with critical growth

This paper is concerned with the existence, multiplicity and concentration behavior of positive solutions for the critical Kirchhoff-type problem $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l@{\quad }l} -\left(\varepsilon ^2a+\varepsilon b\int _{\mathbb{R }^{3}}|\nabla u|^2\right)\Delta u+V(x)u=u^{2^*-1}+\lambda f(u)&\text{ in}~{\mathbb{R }^{3}},\\ u\in H^1({\mathbb{R }^{3}}), ~u(x)>0&\text{ in}~{\mathbb{R }^{3}}, \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$$ where $\varepsilon $ and $\lambda $ are positive parameters, and $a,b>0$ are constants, $2^*(=6)$ is the critical Sobolev exponent in dimension three, $V$ is a positive continuous potential satisfying some conditions, and $f$ is a subcritical nonlinear term. We use the variational methods to relate the number of solutions with the topology of the set where $V$ attains its minimum, for all sufficiently large $\lambda $ and small $\varepsilon $ .
