The author considers a wave equation with localized nonlinear damping, namely, with the damping term \(a(x)|\partial_tu|^{r-1}\partial_tu\). The study of decay rates to such nonlinear problems is a delicate issue. This article demonstrates three different decay rates that may depend on the dimension or the presence of compactly supported initial data. These results depend on two main assumptions, one of which is the well-known Geometric Control Condition (see [\textit{C. Bardos} et al., SIAM J. Control Optim. 30, No. 5, 1024--1065 (1992; Zbl 0786.93009)]): {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize}\item[(1)] \(a(x)\) is a nonnegative function in \(L^\infty(\Omega)\) and there are \(\epsilon_0>0\) and \(L\) sufficiently large such that \( a(x)\geq \epsilon_0>0 \quad \text{for} \quad |x|\geq L\). \item[(2)] There exists an open set \(\omega\) such that \( \omega\subset\{x\in\Omega:a(x)>\epsilon_0>0\}\). \end{itemize}}

The paper deals with the exterior Dirichlet problem to the equation \(u_{tt}-\Delta u+a(x)f(u_t)=0\) in odd-dimensional space, where \(a\) is a nonnegative function with a compact support and \(f\) is a nondecreasing function. Under some assumptions on \(a\) and \(f\) the decay of the local energy of the solution is proved.
