Abstract

We consider a wave equation with a structural damping coupled with an undamped wave equation located at its boundary. We prove that, due to the coupling, the full system is parabolic. In order to show that the underlying operator generates an analytical semigroup, we study in particular the effect of the damping of the “interior” wave equation on the “boundary” wave equation and show that it generates a structural damping.
