Abstract: We study the dissipative linear wave equation in a bounded domain. The exponential decay rate of the energy was established by Bardos, Lebeau and Rauch under a geometrical hypothesis linked with the geodesics. Furthermore such condition called geometric control condition is almost necessary to get a uniform exponential decay. In another hand, Lebeau proved a logarithmic decay rate for smooth solutions when no particular geometric condition is required. In this paper we give for some particular geometries a polynomial decay rate when the geometric control condition is not fulfilled.


The purpose of the paper is a study of the stabilization of the wave equation with a localized linear dissipation in a three-dimensional bounded domain having a trapped ray. The energy decay rates for the damped wave equation are investigated. One constructs a geometry with a trapped ray first. Under certain assumptions regarding initial conditions and for the obtained geometry one proves a polynomial decay rate for the damped wave equation. Already classical methods for hyperbolic systems are used. The strategy remembers the way observability estimates (control theory) are obtained for the wave equation.
