Title: $L^p$-$L^q$ estimates for damped wave equations with odd initial data Author: Takashi Narazaki (Tokai Univ., Japan) Abstract: We study the Cauchy problem for the damped wave equation. In a previous paper [16] the author has shown the $L^{p}$-$L^{q}$ estimates between the solutions of the damped wave equation and the solutions of the corresponding heat equation. In this paper, we show new $L^{p}$-$L^{q}$ estimates for the damped wave equation with odd initial data. Submitted July 5, 2003. Published July 5, 2005. Math Subject Classifications: 35B40, 35L05.
