The damped wave equation models the behavior of vibrating systems exposed to some damping force, which causes the total energy to decay. In this talk, I will discuss classical results that give upper and lower bounds on decay, based on the dynamics of the geodesic flow and the support of the damping. I will discuss recent generalizations of these results to time dependent, unbounded, or anisotropic damping.
(Note location: this talk will be held in C517 due to hiring meeting in C304.)
