Stability results of locally coupled wave equations with local Kelvin-Voigt damping: Cases when the supports of damping and coupling coefficients are disjoint (2203.01632v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we study the direct/indirect stability of locally coupled wave equations with local Kelvin-Voigt dampings/damping and by assuming that the supports of the dampings and the coupling coefficients are disjoint. First, we prove the well-posedness, strong stability, and polynomial stability for some one dimensional coupled systems. Moreover, under some geometric control condition, we prove the well-posedness and strong stability in the multi-dimensional case.
