MUÑOZ RIVERA Communicate by Mokhtar Kirane Abstract. In this article, we stuy the energy ecay for the thermoelastic Bresse system in the whole line with two issipative mechanisms, given by heat conuction Types I an III. We prove that the ecay rate of the solutions are very slow. More precisely, we show that the solutions ecay with the rate of +t /8 in the L -norm, whenever the initial ata belongs to L R H s R for a suitable s. The wave spees of propagation have influence on the ecay rate with respect to the regularity of the initial ata. This phenomenon is known as regularity-loss. The main tool use to prove our results is the energy metho in the Fourier space.. Introuction In this article, we consier two Cauchy problems relate to the Bresse moel with two issipative mechanisms corresponing to the heat conuction couple to the system. The first of them is the Bresse system with thermoelasticity of Type I: ρ ϕ tt kϕ x ψ lω x k 0 lω x lϕ + lγθ = 0 ψ tt bψ xx kϕ x ψ lω + γθ x = 0 ρ ω tt k 0 ω x lϕ x klϕ x ψ lω + γθ x = 0 with the initial ata θ t k θ xx + ω x lϕ t = 0 θ t k θ xx + m ψ xt = 0 in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,, ϕ, ϕ t, ψ, ψ t, ω, ω t, θ, θ x, 0 = ϕ 0, ϕ, ψ 0, ψ, ω 0, ω, θ 0, θ 0 x.

F. A. GALLEGO, J. E. MUÑOZ RIVERA EJDE-07/73 with the initial ata ϕ, ϕ t, ψ, ψ t, ω, ω t, θ, θ, θ t, θ t x, 0 = ϕ 0, ϕ, ψ 0, ψ, ω 0, ω, θ 0, θ 0, θ, θ x, where α, α, ρ,, γ, b, k, k 0, k, k, l an m are positive constants. Terms k 0 ω x lϕ, kϕ ψ lω an bψ x enote the axial force, the shear force an the bening moment, where ω, ϕ an ψ are the longituinal, vertical an shear angle isplacements, respectively. Furthermore, ρ = ρa, = ρi, k 0 = EA, k = k GA, b = EI an l = R, where ρ enotes the ensity, E is the elastic moulus, G is the shear moulus, k is the shear factor, A is the crosssectional area, I is the secon moment of area of the cross-section an R is the raius of curvature of the beam. Here, we assume that all the above coefficients are positive constants. In what concerns of the Thermoelastic of type III, we refer the work of Green an Naghi [9, ]. They re-examine the classical moel of thermoelasticity an introuce the so-calle moel of thermoelasticity of type III, which the constitutive assumption on the heat flux vector is ifferent from Fourier s law. They evelope a moel of thermoelasticity that inclues temperature graient an thermal isplacement graient among the constitutive variables an propose a heat conuction law as qx, t = κθ x x, t + κ v x x, t,.3 where v t = θ an v is the thermal isplacement graient, κ an κ are constants. Combining.3 with the energy balance law lea to the equation ρθ t + ϱ iv q = 0,.4 ρθ tt ϱκθ xx ϱκ θ xx = 0, which permits propagation of thermal waves at finite spee. The common feature of these theories, is that all of them lea to hyperbolic ifferential equations an moel heat flow as thermal waves traveling at finite spee. More information about mathematical moeling can be foun in [3,, 5]. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to the Cauchy problems. an. pose on R. To the best of our knowlege, the stability of the Bresse moel oes not have any physical explanation when it is consiere in the real line. Be that as it may, from mathematical point of view, a consierable number of stability issues concerning the Bresse moel in a whole space, have receive consierable attention in the last years [0, 4, 5, 8, 3]. This has been ue to the regularity-loss phenomenon that usually appears in the pure Cauchy problems for instance, see [5, 6,, 3, 4, 3] an references therein. Roughly speaking, the ecay rate of the solution is of the regularity-loss type, when it is obtaine only by assuming some aitional orer regularity on the initial ate. Thus, base on this refinement of the initial ata, we investigate the relationship between amping terms, the wave spees of propagation an their influence on the ecay rate of the vector solutions V an V see 3.-3. below of the systems. an., respectively. Thus, our main result reas as follows. Theore.. Let s be a non-negative integer, suppose that Vj 0 Hs R L R for j =,. Then, the vector solutions V j of thermoelastic Bresse problems. an., respectively, satisfy the following ecay estimates:

EJDE-07/73 THERMOELASTIC BRESSE SYSTEM 3 If ρ = k b an k = k 0, then k xv j t C + t 8 k 4 V 0 j + C + t l 4 k+l x V 0 j,.5 for j =, an t 0. If ρ k b or k k 0, then k xv j t C + t 8 k 4 V 0 j + C + t l 6 k+l x V 0 j,.6 for j =,, an t 0. where k + l s, C, C are two positive constants. Our proof is base on some estimates for the Fourier image of the solution as well as a suitable linear combination of series of energy estimates. The key iea is to construct functionals to capture the issipation of all the components of the vector solution. These functional allows to buil an appropriate Lyapunov functionals equivalent to the energy, which gives the issipation of all the components in the vector ˆV 0 ξ, t an ˆV 0 ξ, t See 3.3 below. Finally, we rely on the Plancherel theorem an some asymptotic inequalities to show the esire ecay estimates. The ecay rate +t /8 can be obtaine only uner the regularity V 0 H s R. This regularity loss comes to analyze the Fourier image of the solution. Inee, for ˆV ξ, t, we have see.3,.66 an 3.3 below that where sξ = ˆV ξ, t Ce βsξt ˆV ξ, 0,.7 ξ C 4 +ξ 8, ξ C 4 +ξ +ξ 8, ρ if = k b an k = k 0, ρ if k b or k k 0. As we will see, the ecay estimate.5-.6 epens in a critical way on the properties of the function sξ. Obviously, the function sξ behaves like ξ 4 in the low frequency region ξ an like ξ 4 near infinity whenever ρ = k b an k = k 0. Otherwise, if the wave spees of propagation are ifferent the function sξ behaves also like ξ 4 in the low frequency region an like ξ 6 near infinity, which means that the issipation in the high frequency region is very weak an prouces the regularity loss phenomenom. It has been known recently that this regularity loss leas to some ifficulties in the nonlinear problems, see [, 4] for more etails. There are many works on the global existence an asymptotic stability of solutions to the initial bounary value problem for the Bresse system with issipation. In this irection, we refer the IBVP associate to. consiere by Liu an Rao in [6]. They prove that the exponential ecay exists only when the velocities of the wave propagation are the same. If the wave spees are ifferent, they showe that the energy ecays polynomially to zero with the rate t an t 4, provie that the bounary conitions are Dirichlet-Neumann-Neumann ω x x, t = ϕx, t = ψ x x, t = θ x, t = θ x, t = 0, for x = 0, l, an Dirichlet-Dirichlet-Dirichlet type, ωx, t = ϕx, t = ψx, t = θ x, t = θ x, t = 0, for x = 0, l. An improvement of the above results was mae by Fatori an Muñoz Rivera in [8]. They showe that, in general, the Thermoelastic Bresse system of Type I is not

4 F. A. GALLEGO, J. E. MUÑOZ RIVERA EJDE-07/73 exponentially stable, but there exists polynomial stability with rates that epen on the wave propagation an the regularity of the initial ata. As far as we know, there exist just a few results relate to the stability of the pure Cauchy problem to the Bresse moel. The ecay rate of the solution of the IVP for Bresse system in the whole line has been first stuie by Sai-Houari an Soufyane in [3]. They consiere the system ϕ tt ϕ x ψ lω x k 0lω x lϕ = 0 ψ tt a ψ xx kϕ x ψ lωγ ψ t = 0 ω tt k 0ω x lϕ x lϕ x ψ lω + γ ω t = 0 in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,,.8 an investigate the relationship between the frictional amping terms, the wave spees of propagation an their influence on the ecay rate of the solution. In aition, they showe that the L -norm of the solution ecays with the rate + t /4. Later on, the same authors in [8], prove that the vector solution V of the Bresse system ampe by heat conuction: ϕ tt kϕ x ψ lω x k 0lω x lϕ = 0 ψ tt a ψ xx kϕ x ψ lω + mθ x = 0 ω tt k 0ω x lϕ x lϕ x ψ lω + γω t = 0 ecays with the rate k xv t L for a =, an k xv t L θ t k θ xx + mψ xt = 0 in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,,.9 C + t k 6 V0 L + C + t l k+l x V 0 L,.0 C + t k 6 V0 L + C + t l 4 k+l x V 0 L,. for a, k =,,..., s l. More recently, Sai-Houari an Hamaouche [4] stuie the ecay properties of the Bresse-Cattaneo system ϕ tt ϕ x ψ lω x k 0lω x lϕ = 0 ψ tt a ψ xx ϕ x ψ lω + mθ x = 0 ω tt k 0ω x lϕ x lϕ x ψ lω + γω t = 0 θ t + q x + mψ xt = 0 τ q q t + βq + θ x = 0 in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,,. obtaining the same ecay rate as the one of the solution for the Bresse-Fourier moel.9. This fact has been also seen in [6], where the authors investigate the Timoshenko-Cattaneo an Timoshenko-Fourier moels an showe the same behavior for the solutions of both systems. Finally, concerning to the Termoelasticity type III in one-imensional space, Sai-Houari an Hamaouche in [5] have been recently analyze the system ϕ tt ϕ x ψ lω x k 0lω x lϕ = 0 ψ tt a ψ xx ϕ x ψ lω + mθ tx = 0 ω tt k 0ω x lϕ x lϕ x ψ lω + γω t = 0 θ tt k θ xx + βψ tx k θ txx = 0 in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,, in R 0,.
