Note on exponential and polynomial convergence for a delayed wave equation without displacement

Abstract

This note places primary emphasis on improving the asymptotic behavior of a multi-dimensional delayed wave equation in the absence of any displacement term. In the first instance, the delay is assumed to occur in the boundary. Then, invoking a geometric condition BLR on the domain, the exponential convergence of solutions to their equilibrium state is proved. The strategy adopted of the proof is based on an interpolation inequality combined with a resolvent method. In turn, an internal delayed wave equation is considered in the second case, where the domain possesses trapped ray and hence (BLR) geometric condition does not hold. In such a situation polynomial convergence results are established. These finding improve earlier results of Ammari-Chentouf and Phung.
