Logarithmic Decay of a Wave Equation with Kelvin-Voigt Damping (1809.03196v1)
Published 10 Sep 2018 in math.AP
Abstract: In this paper we analyze the long time behavior of a wave equation with local Kelvin-Voigt Damping. Through introducing proper class symbol and pseudo-differential calculus, we obtain a Carleman estimate, and then establish an estimate on the corresponding resolvent operator. As a result, we show the logarithmic decay rate for energy of the system without any geometric assumption on the subdomain on which the damping is effective.
