Kawashima, S.; Shibata, Y.

(English)
[J] Commun. Math. Phys. 148, No.1, 189-208 (1992). ISSN 0010-3616; ISSN 1432-0916/e

Summary: The global existence of smooth solutions of the equations of nonlinear hyperbolic system of second order with third order viscosity is shown for small and smooth initial data in a bounded domain of $n$-dimensional Euclidean space with smooth boundary. Dirichlet boundary condition is studied and the asymptotic behaviour of exponential decay type of solutions as $t$ tending to $\infty$ is described. Time periodic solutions are also studied. As an application of our main theorem, nonlinear viscoelasticity, strongly damped nonlinear wave equation and acoustic wave equation in viscous conducting fluid are treated.
