Abstract:
In this paper, first we prove the existence of global
solutions in Sobolev spaces for the initial boundary value problem
of the wave equation of
-Laplacian
with a general
dissipation of the form
where
. Then we prove general
stability estimates using multiplier method and general weighted
integral inequalities proved by the second author in
[18]. Without imposing any growth condition at the
origin on
and
,
we show that the energy of the system is
bounded above by a quantity, depending on
,
and
,
which tends to zero (as time approaches infinity). These
estimates allows us to consider large class of functions
and
with general growth at the origin. We give some
examples to illustrate how to derive from our general estimates
the polynomial, exponential or logarithmic decay. The results of
this paper improve and generalize many existing results in the
literature, and generate some interesting open problems.
