Interior feedback stabilization of wave equations with time dependent delay Serge Nicaise ∗ and Cristina Pignotti †
Abstract We study the stabilization problem by interior (weak/strong) damping of the wave equation with boundary or internal time–varying delay feedback in a bounded and smooth domain Ω ⊂ IR n . By introducing suitable Lyapunov functionals exponential stability estimates are obtained if the delay effect is appropriately compensated by the internal damping.

Let Ω ⊂ IR n be an open bounded set with a boundary Γ of class C 2 . We assume that Γ is divided into two parts Γ 0 and Γ 1 , i.e. Γ = Γ 0 ∪ Γ 1 , with Γ 0 ∩ Γ 1 = ∅ and meas Γ 0 6 = ∅ . Moreover, we assume that there exists x 0 ∈ IR n such that denoting by m the standard multiplier m ( x ) := x − x 0 , we have m ( x ) ∙ ν ( x ) ≤ 0 on Γ 0 (1.1) and, for some positive constant δ, m ( x ) ∙ ν ( x ) ≥ δ on Γ 1 . (1.2) We consider the problem
u tt ( x, t ) − Δ u ( x, t ) − a Δ u t ( x, t ) = 0 in Ω × (0 , + ∞ ) (1.3) u ( x, t ) = 0 on Γ 0 × (0 , + ∞ ) (1.4) µu tt ( x, t ) = − ∂ ( u∂ + νau t )( x, t ) − ku t ( x, t − τ ( t )) on Γ 1 × (0 , + ∞ ) (1.5) u ( x, 0) = u 0 ( x ) and u t ( x, 0) = u 1 ( x ) in Ω (1.6) u t ( x, t ) = f 0 ( x, t ) in Γ 1 × ( − τ (0) , 0) , (1.7) where ν ( x ) denotes the outer unit normal vector to the point x ∈ Γ and ∂∂uν is the normal derivative. Moreover, τ = τ ( t ) is the time delay, µ, a, k are real numbers, with µ ≥ 0 , a > 0 , and the initial datum ( u 0 , u 1 , f 0 ) belongs to a suitable space. Note that for µ > 0 , (1.5) is a so–called dynamic boundary condition. ∗ Universite´deValenciennesetduHainautCambre´sis,MACS,ISTV,59313ValenciennesCedex9,France † DipartimentodiMatematicaPuraeApplicata,Universita`diL’Aquila,ViaVetoio,Loc.Coppito,67010L’AquilaItaly 1
