On a mixed problem for a linear coupled system with variable coefficients

H. R. Clark , L. P. San Gil Jutuca, & M. Milla Miranda

Abstract:
We prove existence, uniqueness and exponential decay of solutions to the mixed problem
$$u''(x,t)-\mu(t)\Delta u(x,t)+\sum_{i=1}^n {\partial \theta\over\partial x_i}(x,t)=0 $$

$$ \theta'(x,t)-\Delta \theta(x,t) +\sum_{i=1}^n {\partial u'\over\partial x_i}(x,t)=0\,,$$
with a suitable boundary damping, and a positive real-valued function $\mu$.
