Existence and boundary stabilization of the semilinear wave equation (Q884513)

The authors show existence and boundary stability of a weak solution for the semilinear problem with a general nonlinear function \(h\). This general nonlinearity brings great difficulities, mainly to obtain von Neumann's conditions. They overcome these problems by proving the existence and uniqueness for a nonhomogeneous boundary value problem and using arguments of a hidden regularity. They also study the exponential energy decay for a given problem making use of the perturbed energy method.
