Analytic property of a coupled system of wave-plate type with thermal effect. (Q417039)

The authors prove that the semigroup associated to the system \(\rho _1u_{tt}-\Delta u-\mu \Delta u_t+\alpha \Delta v=0\), \(\rho _2v_{tt}+\gamma \Delta ^2v+\alpha \Delta u+m\Delta \theta =0\), \(\tau \theta _t-k\Delta \theta -m\Delta v_t=0\) in \(\Omega \times (0,\infty )\) (\(\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^n\)) under initial and Dirichlet conditions is analytic. This, in particular, implies exponential stability of the associated energy.
