Uniform exponential stability of approximation in linear viscoelasticty

From MaRDI portal





The following integro-differential equation \[ \displaystyle {\ddot u}(t) + A \left[ \varepsilon u(t) - \int_{-r}^0 g(s) u(t+s) ds \right] = f(t), \eqno\text{ (1)} \] \noindent which appears in linear viscoelasticity is considered. Using the semigroup approach the equation (1) is written as an abstract evolution equation \({{dz}\over{dt}}(t) = {\mathcal A} z(t) + {\mathcal F}(t)\) in a Hilbert space \({\mathcal Z}\) with a linear operator \({\mathcal A}\) which generates a \(C_0\)-semigroup \(S(t)\) on \({\mathcal Z}\). Using a characterization of exponential stability of a semigroup due to \textit{F. Huang} [Ann. Differ. Eq. 1, 43-56 (1985; Zbl 0593.34048)], the authors provide conditions on the history kernel \(g\) under which the semigroup \(S(t)\) is exponentially stable on \({\mathcal Z}\). It is shown that the approximation schemes of (1), introduced by \textit{R. H. Fabiano} and \textit{K. Ito} [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 21, No. 2, 374-393 (1990; Zbl 0688.65080)], and consisting in the discretization of the spatial variable together with an averaging scheme, preserve the exponential stability uniformly. It is observed that a nonuniform mesh averaging scheme preserves also the uniform exponential stability.
