Uniform stabilization of the wave equation with Dirichlet-feedback control without geometrical conditions (Q4036909)

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0755.00020.] It is considered the wave equation \[ w_{tt}- \Delta w= 0\quad\text{in } (0,T]\times\Omega,\quad w(0,x)= w_ 0,\;w_ t(0,x)= w_ 1\quad\text{in }\Omega,\;w\bigl|_{\Sigma_ 0}=0,\;w\bigr|_{\Sigma_ 1}= g, \] where \(\Omega\) is an open bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\), \(n\geq 2\) with smooth boundary \(\Gamma= \Gamma_ 0\cup \Gamma_ 1\), \(\Gamma_ i\) relatively open, \(\Gamma_ 0\) possibly empty while \(\Gamma_ 1\) is non- empty, with \(\overline\Gamma_ 0\cap\overline\Gamma_ 1\neq\emptyset\), \(\Sigma_ 0= (0,T]\times\Gamma_ 0\), \(\Sigma_ 1= (0,T]\times\Gamma_ 1\). It is proved that the solution of the above equation has a uniform stabilization property if some geometrical conditions concerning \(\Omega\) are fulfilled. If \(\Gamma_ 0=\emptyset\) it results that no geometrical conditions are needed on \(\Omega\), except smoothness of \(\Gamma\).
