Title: Exponential time-decay for a one dimensional wave equation with coefficients of bounded variation
(Submitted on 31 Oct 2022 (v1), last revised 15 Jan 2023 (this version, v2))
Abstract: We consider the initial-value problem for a one-dimensional wave equation with coefficients that are positive, constant outside of an interval, and have bounded variation (BV). Under the assumption of compact support of the initial data, we prove that the local energy decays exponentially fast in time, and provide the explicit constant to which the solution converges. The key ingredient of the proof is a high frequency resolvent estimate for an associated Helmholtz operator with a BV potential.
