Local Energy Decay For Solutions Of Multi-Dimensional Isotropic Symmetric Hyperbolic Systems, Thomas C. Sideris, Becca Thomases Dec 2006

Local Energy Decay For Solutions Of Multi-Dimensional Isotropic Symmetric Hyperbolic Systems, Thomas C. Sideris, Becca Thomases

Mathematics Sciences: Faculty Publications

The local decay of energy is established for solutions to certain linear, multidimensional symmetric hyperbolic systems, with constraints. The key assumptions are isotropy and nondegeneracy of the associated symbols. Examples are given, including Maxwell's equations and linearized elasticity. Such estimates prove useful in treating nonlinear perturbations.
