General decay of the solution for a viscoelastic wave equation with a time-varying delay term in the internal feedback
In this paper we consider a viscoelastic wave equation with a time-varying
delay term, the coefficient of which is not necessarily positive. By
introducing suitable energy and Lyapunov functionals, under suitable
assumptions, we establish a general energy decay result from which the
exponential and polynomial types of decay are only special cases.Comment: 11 page
On a Kelvin-Voigt Viscoelastic Wave Equation with Strong Delay
An initial-boundary value problem for a viscoelastic wave equation subject to
a strong time-localized delay in a Kelvin & Voigt-type material law is
considered. Transforming the equation to an abstract Cauchy problem on the
extended phase space, a global well-posedness theory is established using the
operator semigroup theory both in Sobolev-valued - and BV-spaces. Under
appropriate assumptions on the coefficients, a global exponential decay rate is
obtained and the stability region in the parameter space is further explored
using the Lyapunov's indirect method. The singular limit is
further studied with the aid of the energy method. Finally, a numerical example
from a real-world application in biomechanics is presented.Comment: 34 pages, 4 figures, 1 set of Matlab code
Global Stabilization of the Navier-Stokes-Voight and the damped nonlinear wave equations by finite number of feedback controllers
In this paper we introduce a finite-parameters feedback control algorithm for
stabilizing solutions of the Navier-Stokes-Voigt equations, the strongly damped
nonlinear wave equations and the nonlinear wave equation with nonlinear damping
term, the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers equation and the KdV-Burgers equation.
This algorithm capitalizes on the fact that such infinite-dimensional
dissipative dynamical systems posses finite-dimensional long-time behavior
which is represented by, for instance, the finitely many determining parameters
of their long-time dynamics, such as determining Fourier modes, determining
volume elements, determining nodes , etc..The algorithm utilizes these finite
parameters in the form of feedback control to stabilize the relevant solutions.
For the sake of clarity, and in order to fix ideas, we focus in this work on
the case of low Fourier modes feedback controller, however, our results and
tools are equally valid for using other feedback controllers employing other
spatial coarse mesh interpolants
