The purpose of the present paper is to establish the local energy decay estimates and dispersive estimates for 3-dimensional wave equation with a potential to the initial-boundary value problem on exterior domains. The geometrical assumptions on domains are rather general, for example non-trapping condition is not imposed in the local energy decay result. As a by-product, Strichartz estimates i...

We give mappings between hierarchies having nonisospectral scattering problems and hierarchies having isospectral scattering problems. Special cases of these changes of variables involve similarity variables, and similarity solutions of a hierarchy are seen to correspond to time-independent solutions of an equivalent hierarchy. We thus explain why the use of nonisospectral scattering problems a...

It is well known that difference schemes for hyperbolic equations display dispersion of waves. For a general dissipative difference scheme, we present a dispersive wave equation and show that the dispersions are essentially the same when the initial data is a step function.

We consider the class of viscous-dispersive and higher-order conservation laws. We generalize the work of Kawashima and Shizuta, and others, by extending to higher-order the notions of symmetrizability, strict dissipativity, and genuine coupling. We prove, for symmetrizable systems, that strict dissipativity is equivalent to both (i) genuine coupling and (ii) the existence of a skew-symmetric c...

For α ∈ (1, 2) we prove that the initial-value problem
