Phragmén-Lindelöf alternative of exponential type for the solutions of a fourth order dispersive equation (Q429550)

Summary: In a recent paper [Q. Appl. Math. 64, No. 3, 547--560 (2006; Zbl 1111.35091)] we investigated the spatial behavior of a linear equation of fourth order which models several mechanical situations where dispersive effects are taken into account. We proved a polynomial decay estimate for the solutions of this equation. In the present note we improve this result and we show a Phragmén-Lindelöf alternative of exponential type.
