General decay for a von Karman equation of memory type with acoustic boundary conditions (Q1938476): Difference between revisions

The authors investigate the decay of energy of solutions for a dynamic von Kármán system with long-range memory and acoustic boundary conditions: \[ \begin{aligned} &u_{tt}-\alpha \Delta u_{tt} +\Delta^2u-\int_0^t g(t-s)\Delta^2u(s)\,ds=[u,v]\;\text{in}\;\Omega\times (0,\infty),\\ &\Delta^2v=-[u,u]\;\text{in}\;\Omega\times (0,\infty),\;v=\frac{\partial v}{\partial \nu}=0\;\text{on}\;\Gamma\times (0,\infty),\\ &u=\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}=0\;\text{on}\;\Gamma_0\times (0,\infty),\\ & \mathcal{B}_1u-\mathcal{B}_1\left(\int_0^t g(t-s)u(s)\,ds \right)=0\;\text{on}\;\Gamma_1\times (0,\infty)\\ & \mathcal{B}_2u-\alpha \frac {u_{tt}}{\partial\nu}-\mathcal{B}_2\left(\int_0^t g(t-s)u(s)\,ds \right)=-y' \;\text{on}\;\Gamma_1\times (0,\infty)\\ &u'+p(x)y'+q(x)y=0\;\text{on}\;\Gamma_1\times (0,\infty),\\ &u(0)=u_0,\;u'(0)=u_1\;\text{in}\;\varOmega,\;y(0)=y_0\;\text{on}\;\Gamma_1, \end{aligned} \] where \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2\) is a bounded domain with sufficiently smooth boundary \(\Gamma=\Gamma_0\cup\Gamma_1,\;\Gamma_0\cap\Gamma_1=\emptyset,\;\alpha>0,\;[u,w]=u_{xx}w_{yy}+u_{yy}w_{xx}-2u_{xy}w_{xy}\). They prove general decay rates when \(g\) does not necessarily decay exponentially.
