We study the Cauchy problem for damped wave equations with a time-dependent propagation speed and dissipation. The model of interest is [Formula: see text] We assume [Formula: see text]. Then we propose a classification of dissipation terms in non-effective and effective. In each case we derive estimates for kinetic and elastic type energies by developing a suitable WKB analysis. Moreover, we show optimality of results by the aid of scale-invariant models. Finally, we explain by an example that in some estimates a loss of regularity appears.

We study the global existence and the derivation of decay estimates for nonlinear wave equations with a space-time dependent dissipative term posed in an exterior domain. The linear dissipative effect may vanish in a compact space region and, moreover, the nonlinear terms need not be in a divergence form. In order to establish higher-order energy estimates, we introduce an argument based on a suitable rescaling. The proposed method is useful to control certain derivatives of the dissipation coefficient.

We consider the initial-boundary value problem for semilinear dissipative wave equations in noncylindrical domain \(\bigcup_{0\leq t \lt\infty} \Omega(t)\times\{t\} \subset \mathbb{R}^N\times \mathbb{R}\). We are interested in finite energy solution. We derive an exponential decay of the energy in the case \(\Omega(t)\) is bounded in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) and the estimate \[\int\limits_0^{\infty} E(t)dt \leq C(E(0),\|u(0)\|)< \infty\] in the case \(\Omega(t)\) is unbounded. Existence and uniqueness of finite energy solution are also proved.
