Stability results of coupled wave models with locally memory in a past history framework via non smooth coefficients on the interface

In this paper, we investigate the stabilization of a locally coupled wave equations with local viscoelastic damping of past history type acting only in one equation via non smooth coefficients. First, using a general criteria of Arendt-Batty, we prove the strong stability of our system. Second, using a frequency domain approach combined with the multiplier method, we establish the exponential stability of the solution if and only if the two waves have the same speed of propagation. In case of different speed propagation, we prove that the energy of our system decays polynomially with rate 1/t. Finally, we show the lack of exponential stability if the speeds of wave propagation are different.

Stability results of a singular local interaction elastic/viscoelastic coupled wave equations with time delay

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the stabilization of a one-dimensional coupled wave equations with non smooth localized viscoelastic damping of Kelvin-Voigt type and localized time delay. Using a general criteria of Arendt-Batty, we show the strong stability of our system in the absence of the compactness of the resolvent. Finally, using frequency domain approach combining with a multiplier method, we prove a polynomial energy decay rate of order 1/t.

Stability results of an elastic/viscoelastic transmission problem of locally coupled waves with non smooth coefficients

We investigate the stabilization of a locally coupled wave equations with only one internal viscoelastic damping of Kelvin-Voigt type. The main novelty in this paper is that both the damping and the coupling coefficients are non smooth. First, using a general criteria of Arendt-Batty, combined with an uniqueness result, we prove that our system is strongly stable. Next, using a spectrum approach, we prove the non-exponential (uniform) stability of the system. Finally, using a frequency domain approach, combined with a piecewise multiplier technique and the construction of a new multiplier satisfying some ordinary differential equations, we show that the energy of smooth solutions of the system decays polynomially of type t^{-1}.

Stability and Controllability results for a Timoshenko system

In this paper, we study the indirect boundary stability and exact controllability of a one-dimensional Timoshenko system. In the first part of the paper, we consider the Timoshenko system with only one boundary fractional damping. We first show that the system is strongly stable but not uniformly stable. Hence, we look for a polynomial decay rate for smooth initial data. Using frequency domain arguments combined with the multiplier method, we prove that the energy decay rate depends on coefficients appearing in the PDE and on the order of the fractional damping. Moreover, under the equal speed propagation condition, we obtain the optimal polynomial energy decay rate. In the second part of this paper, we study the indirect boundary exact controllability of the Timoshenko system with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions and boundary control. Using non-harmonic analysis, we first establish a weak observability inequality, which depends on the ratio of the waves propagation speeds. Next, using the HUM method, we prove that the system is exactly controllable in appropriate spaces and that the control time can be small.

The influence of the coefficients of a system of coupled wave equations with fractional damping on its stabilization

In this work, we consider a system of two wave equations coupled by velocities in one-dimensional space, with one boundary fractional damping. First, we show that the system is strongly asymptotically stable if and only if the coupling parameter b of the two equations is outside a discrete set of exceptional real values. Next, we show that our system is not uniformly stable. Hence, we look for a polynomial decay rate for smooth initial data. Using frequency domain approach combining with multiplier method, we prove that the energy decay rate is greatly influenced by the nature of the coupling parameter b, the arithmetic property of the ratio of the wave propagation speeds a, the order of the fractional damping. Indeed, under the equal speed propagation condition, we establish an optimal polynomial energy decay rate. Furthermore, when the wave propagate with different speeds, under some arithmetic conditions on the ratio of the wave propagation speeds, we prove that the energy of our system decays polynomially to zero.
