Decay estimates for a class of wave equations

Abstract

In this paper we use a unified way studying the decay estimate for a class of dispersive semigroup given by $e^{it\phi(\sqrt{-\Delta})}$, where $\phi: \mathbb{R}^+\to \mathbb{R}$ is smooth away from the origin. Especially, the decay estimates for the solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation and the beam equation are simplified and slightly improved.
