Abstract: This paper is on the asymptotic behavior of the elastic string equation with localized degenerate Kelvin--Voigt damping u_{tt}(x,t)-[u_{x}(x,t)+b(x)u_{x,t}(x,t)]_{x}=0,; xin(-1,1),; t>0, where b(x)=0 on xin(−1,0], and b(x)=xalpha>0 on xin(0,1) for alphain(0,1). It is known that the optimal decay rate of solution is t−2 in the limit case alpha=0, and exponential decay rate for alphage1. When alphain(0,1), the damping coefficient b(x) is continuous, but its derivative has a singularity at the interface x=0. In this case, the best known decay rate is t−frac3−alpha2(1−alpha). Although this rate is consistent with the exponential one at alpha=1, it failed to match the optimal one at alpha=0. In this paper, we obtain a sharper polynomial decay rate t−frac2−alpha1−alpha. More significantly, it is consistent with the optimal polynomial decay rate at alpha=0 and the exponential decay rate at alpha=1.This is a big step toward the goal of obtaining eventually the optimal decay rate.
