Global Stabilization for the BBM-KP equations on R2

Abstract

In this paper, we present results on the energy decay of the BBM-KP equations (I and II) posed on $\R^2$ with localized damping. This model offers an alternative to the KP equations, analogous to how the regularized long-wave equation relates to the classical Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. We show that the energy associated with the Cauchy problem decays exponentially when a localized dissipative mechanism is present in a subdomain. Finally, we validate the theoretical results on the exponential stabilization of solutions to the BBM-KP equations with damping through numerical experiments using a spectral-finite difference scheme.
