Generalised energy conservation law for the wave equations with variable propagation speed

Analysis of PDEs 2009-11-24 v2

Abstract

We investigate the long time behaviour of the L2L^2-energy of solutions to wave equations with variable speed. The novelty of the approach is the combination of estimates for higher order derivatives of the coefficient with a stabilisation property.
