We are interested in the case where \(\sigma(v^2)\) has no exponent \(m \geq 0\) such that \(\sigma(v^2) \geq k_0|v|^m , k_0 \gt 0\). A typical example is \(\sigma(v^2)=\operatorname{log}(1+v^2)\). \(f(u)\) is a function like \(f=|u|^{\alpha} u\). A decay estimate for \(\|\nabla u(t)\|_{\infty}\) is also given.
