Ammari, Kais Dirichlet boundary stabilization of the wave equation. (English) Zbl 1020.35042 Asymptotic Anal. 30, No. 2, 117-130 (2002). Summary: We consider the stabilization problem for a wave equation. In the case when the geometric control assumption is not satisfied, we prove that the energy of the system decays with a logarithmic rate for all initial data in the domain of the infinitesimal generator of the evolution equation. The technique used consists in deducing the decay estimate from an observability inequality for the associated undamped problem, via sharp regularity results.
