Energy decay for elastic wave equations with critical damping
Electronic journal of differential equations, Tome 2014 (2014)
We show that the total energy decays at the rate $E_u(t) = O(t^{-2})$, as $t \to +\infty$, for solutions to the Cauchy problem of a linear system of elastic wave with a variable damping term. It should be mentioned that the the critical decay satisfies $V(x) \ge C_0(1+|x|)^{-1}$ for $C_0>2b$, where b represents the speed of propagation of the P-wave.
