Existence and decay of finite energy solutions for semilinear dissipative wave equations in time-dependent domains

Mitsuhiro Nakao
Abstract. We consider the initial-boundary value problem for semilinear dissipative wave equations in noncylindrical domain \(\bigcup_{0\leq t \lt\infty} \Omega(t)\times\{t\} \subset \mathbb{R}^N\times \mathbb{R}\). We are interested in finite energy solution. We derive an exponential decay of the energy in the case \(\Omega(t)\) is bounded in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) and the estimate \[\int\limits_0^{\infty} E(t)dt \leq C(E(0),\|u(0)\|)\lt \infty\] in the case \(\Omega(t)\) is unbounded. Existence and uniqueness of finite energy solution are also proved.
Keywords: energy decay, global existence, semilinear wave equation, noncylindrical domains.
