We analyze continuous-time models of accelerated gradient methods through deriving conservation laws in dilated coordinate systems. Namely, instead of analyzing the dynamics of $X(t)$, we analyze the dynamics of $W(t)=t^\alpha(X(t)-X_c)$…

We investigate the long time behavior of solutions to semilinear hyperbolic equation (E$_{\alpha}$): $ u^{\prime\prime}(t)+\gamma(t)u^{\prime}(t)+Au(t)+f(u(t))=g(t),~t\geq0, $ where $A$ is a self-adjoint nonnegative operator, $f$ a function…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded smooth domain (open and connected) in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Given $u_0\in L^2(\Omega)$, $g\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ and $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, our purpose is to describe the asymptotic behavior of…
For general second order evolution equations, we prove an optimal condition on the degree of unboundedness of the damping, that rules out finite-time extinction. We show that control estimates give energy decay rates that explicitly depend…
