GLOBAL EXISTENCE AND L^p ESTIMATES FOR SOLUTIONS OF DAMPED WAVE EQUATION WITH NONLINEAR CONVECTION IN MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SPACE

In this article, the author studies the Cauchy problem of the damped wave equation with a nonlinear convection term in multi-dimensions. The author shows that a classical solution to the Cauchy problem exists globally in time under smallness condition on the initial perturbation. Furthermore, the author obtains the L^p （2 ≤ p ≤ ∞） decay estimates of the solution.

LOCAL STABILITY OF TRAVELLING FRONTS FOR A DAMPED WAVE EQUATION

The paper is concerned with the long-time behaviour of the travelling fronts of the damped wave equation αutt ＋ut = uxx -V′（u） on R. The long-time asymptotics of the solutions of this equation are quite similar to those of the corresponding reaction-diffusion equation ut = uxx - V′（u）. Whereas a lot is known about the local stability of travelling fronts in parabolic systems, for the hyperbolic equations it is only briefly discussed when the potential V is of bistable type. However, for the combustion or monostable type of V, the problem is much more complicated. In this paper, a local stability result for travelling fronts of this equation with combustion type of nonlinearity is established. And then, the result is extended to the damped wave equation with a case of monostable pushed front.

Existence of Multiple Equilibrium Points in Global Attractor for the Strongly Damped Wave Equations

The aim of this paper is to study the long-term behavior of strongly damped wave equations with a Lyapunov function. Using the theory established by estimating the Z2 index of some sets and the idea of invariant sets of semi-flow,the properties of the global attractor for strongly damped wave equation are discussed. The existence of multiple equilibrium points in global attractor for strongly damped wave equations with critical growth of nonlinearity is obtained. And under some additional condition, the infinite dimension of the attractor is proven.

Regularity of Invariant Sets in Variable Internal Damped Wave Equations

In this paper we prove that every compact invariant subset■associated with the semigroup{Sn,k(t)}t≥0 generated by wave equations with variable damping,either in the interior or on the boundary of the domainΩwhereΩ■R^3 is a smooth bounded domain,in H^10(Ω)×L^2(Ω)is in fact bounded in D(B0)×H^10(Ω)As an application of our results,we obtain the upper-semicontinuity for global attractor of the weakly damped semilinear wave equation in the norm of H^1(Ω)×L^2(Ω)when the interior variable damping converges to theboundary damping in the sense of distributions.

DECAY ESTIMATES OF PLANAR STATIONARY WAVES FOR DAMED WAVE EQUATIONS WITH NONLINEAR CONVECTION IN MULTI-DIMENSIONAL HALF SPACE

This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for damped wave equations with a nonlinear convection term in the multi-dimensional half space R n ＋ ： u tt u ＋ u t ＋ divf （u） = 0, t 〉 0, x = （x 1 , x ′ ） ∈ R n ＋ ：= R ＋ × R n 1 , u（0, x） = u 0 （x） → u ＋ , as x 1 → ＋ ∞ , u t （0, x） = u 1 （x）, u（t, 0, x ′ ） = u b , x ′ = （x 2 , x 3 , ··· , x n ） ∈ R n 1 . （I） For the non-degenerate case f ′ 1 （u ＋ ） 〈 0, it was shown in [10] that the above initialboundary value problem （I） admits a unique global solution u（t, x） which converges to the corresponding planar stationary wave φ（x 1 ） uniformly in x 1 ∈ R ＋ as time tends to infinity provided that the initial perturbation and/or the strength of the stationary wave are sufficiently small. And in [10] Ueda, Nakamura, and Kawashima proved the algebraic decay estimates of the tangential derivatives of the solution u（t, x） for t → ＋ ∞ by using the space-time weighted energy method initiated by Kawashima and Matsumura [5] and improved by Nishihkawa [7]. Moreover, by using the same weighted energy method, an additional algebraic convergence rate in the normal direction was obtained by assuming that the initial perturbation decays algebraically. We note, however, that the analysis in [10] relies heavily on the assumption that f ′ （u） 〈 0. The main purpose of this paper isdevoted to discussing the case of f ′ 1 （u b ） ≥ 0 and we show that similar results still hold for such a case. Our analysis is based on some delicate energy estimates.

Damping Solitary Wave in a Three-Dimensional Rectangular Geometry Plasma

The solitary waves of a viscous plasma confined in a cuboid under the three types of boundary condition are theoretically investigated in the present paper.By introducing a threedimensional rectangular geometry and employing the reductive perturbation theory,a quasi-Kd V equation is derived in the viscous plasma and a damping solitary wave is obtained.It is found that the damping rate increases as the viscosity coefficient increases,or increases as the length and width of the rectangle decrease,for all kinds of boundary condition.Nevertheless,the magnitude of the damping rate is dominated by the types of boundary condition.We thus observe the existence of a damping solitary wave from the fact that its amplitude disappears rapidly for a → 0and b → 0,or ν→ ＋∞.

A Fast Recursive Algorithm for Positive and Inverse in Damped Wave Equation Problems

Based on the damped wave equation,the damped wave equation for seismic exploration is given for the study on evaluation problem of stratum acoustic impedance by the seismic data records.And applying Cauchy Problem instead of mixed problem in the process Of identifying acoustic impedance,we for give a fast identification algorithm of recurtive layer by layer.In order to avoid the accumulation of errors while identifying,the method of removing errors layer by layer is taken.So using the principle of Pulse Variation and even under the circumstance of big noise,we can identify the structure of stratum clearly.
