Synopsis

Decay estimates for the energy are derived for the initial boundary value problem of the wave equation with a degenerate dissipative term:

where Ω is a bounded domain in Rn, a(×) is a nonnegative function such that a1 ∊Lp(Ω) for some p > 0 and f is a function tending to 0 rapidly as t → ∞
