Abstract: We consider the Cauchy problem for the weakly dissipative wave equation �x v+fracmu{1+t}v_t=0, qquad xinR^n,quad tge 0, parameterized by mu>0, and prove a representation theorem for its solution using the theory of special functions. This representation is used to obtain Lp--Lq estimates for the solution and for the energy operator corresponding to this Cauchy problem. Especially for the L2 energy estimate we determine the part of the phase sp which is responsible for the decay rate. It will be shown that the situation d strongly on the value of mu and that mu=2 is critical.
