Estadual de Maringa, Brazil) Mikhail P. Vishnevskii (Univ. Estadual de Norte Flumenense, Brazil) Abstract: This paper concerns a dissipative initial boundary value problem for the Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation. We prove the existence and uniqueness of global solutions and the decay of the energy as time tends to infinity. Submitted June 5, 2008. Published October 29, 2008.
