SynopsisThis report deals with the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the wave equation in a domain Ω ⊆Rn. The boundary, Γof Ωft consists of two parts. One part reflects all energy while the other part absorbs energy to a degree. If the energy-absorbing part is non-empty we show that the energy tends to zero as t→∞. With stronger assumptions we are able to obtain decay rates for the energy. Certain relationships with controlability are discussed and used to advantage.

This paper is concerned with uniform stability of the energy corresponding to a class of nonlinear plate equations with memory. It is assumed that the memory kernel [Formula: see text] satisfies the condition [Formula: see text] of Alabau-Boussouira and Cannarsa [A general method for proving sharp energy decay rates for memory-dissipative evolution equations, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Ser. I 347 (2009) 867–872], where [Formula: see text] is positive, convex, increasing, and satisfies [Formula: see text]. Then, we obtain sharp energy decay rate in the sense that it recovers the decay rate assumed to the memory kernel. To this end we use a recent approach proposed by Lasiecka and Wang [Intrinsic decay rate estimates for semilinear abstract second order equations with memory, in New Prospects in Direct, Inverse and Control Problems for Evolution Equations, Springer Series INDAM, Vol. 10 (Springer, 2014), pp. 271–303].
