A frequency approach for stabilization of one-dimensional degenerate wave equation
In this paper, we are concerned with the study of stabilization problem for the following strongly degenerate wave equation in one space dimension $$w_{tt}(x,t)-\left(x^αw_x(x,t)\right)_x=0$$ where ${\bfα\in [1,2)}$. Thus, using a frequency domain method inspired from \cite{BT}, we prove the polynomial decays of its total energy with $t^{-\nicefrac{1}{2}}$ decay rate.
