Stability for nonlinear wave motions damped by time-dependent frictions (2203.06312v1)

Abstract: We are concerned with the dynamical behavior of solutions to semilinear wave systems with time-varying damping and nonconvex force potential. Our result shows that the dynamical behavior of solution is asymptotically stable without any bifurcation and chaos. And it is a sharp condition on the damping coefficient for the solution to converge to some equilibrium. To illustrate our theoretical results, we provide some numerical simulations for dissipative sine-Gordon equation and dissipative Klein-Gordon equation.
