Lp-asymptotic stability of 1D damped wave equations with localized and linear damping
<p>In this paper, we study the L<sup>p</sup>-asymptotic stability of the one dimensional linear damped<br />wave equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions in <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mo>[</mo><mn>0</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>1</mn><mo>]</mo></math>, with <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>p</mi><mo>∈</mo><mo>(</mo><mn>1</mn><mo>,</mo><mo>∞</mo><mo>)</mo></math>. The damping<br />term is assumed to be linear and localized to an arbitrary open sub-interval of <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mo>[</mo><mn>0</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>1</mn><mo>]</mo></math>. We prove that the <br />semi-group <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msub><mi>S</mi><mi>p</mi></msub><mo>(</mo><mi>t</mi><msub><mo>)</mo><mrow><mi>t</mi><mo>≥</mo><mn>0</mn></mrow></msub></math> associated with the previous equation is well-posed and exponentially stable.<br />The proof relies on the multiplier method and depends on whether <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>p</mi><mo>≥</mo><mn>2</mn></math> or <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mn>1</mn><mo><</mo><mi>p</mi><mo><</mo><mn>2</mn></math>.</p>
