STAVRAKAKIS Abstract. In this article, we consider a nonlinear Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger type system in Rn , where the nonlinear term exists and the damping term is effective. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a global solution and its exponential decay. The result is achieved by using the multiplier technique. 1. Introduction We consider the nonlinear system of Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger type with locally distributed damping x ∈ Ω, t > 0, iψt + κ∆ψ + iαψ = φψχω , φtt − ∆φ + φ + λ(x)φt = − Re(F (x) · ∇ψ), ψ=φ=0 ψ(0) = ψ0 , H01 (Ω) n 2 x ∈ Ω, t > 0, on Γ × (0, ∞), φ(0) = φ0 , H01 (Ω) (1.2) (1.3) φt (0) = φ1 2 (1.1) H01 (Ω), (1.4) where ψ0 ∈ ∩ H (Ω), φ0 ∈ ∩ H (Ω), φ1 ∈ Ω is a bounded domain of R , n ≤ 2, κ > 0, α > 0, Γ is the smooth boundary of Ω, ω is an open subset of Ω such that meas(ω) > 0 and λ ∈ W 1,∞ (Ω) is a nonnegative function. In what follows χω represents the characteristic function of ω; that is, χ = 1 in ω and χ = 0 in Ω \ ω. So that the nonlinearity term φψ exists, where the damping λ(x)φt takes palce and reciprocally. Systems of Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger type have been studied for many years. For example in [3, 4, 8, 5, 9, 10] the authors studied problems such as existence and uniqueness of solutions, exponential decay, the existence of a global attractor and its finite dimensionality in one or higher dimensions, in bounded or unbounded domains. The majority of works in the literature deals with linear dissipative terms, acting on both equations. Very few is known about the polynomial decay of a KleinGordon-Schrödinger type system. In [2] the author proves the polynomial decay when dealing with a localized dissipation in the wave equation and in [1] the authors prove a similar result when dealing with a KGS system, idea that inspired this work. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35L70, 35B40.

In Section 2, the basic notation is given and the main assumptions made are quoted. In Section 3, the existence and uniqueness of global solutions are proved. Finally in Section 4, integral inequalities for the energy of the system are proved using the multiplier method combined with integral inequalities that can be found in [6] (See also [7]). 2. Notation and assumptions Let us introduce some notation that will be used throughout this work. Denote by H s (Ω) both the standard real and complex Sobolev spaces on Ω. For simplicity reasons sometimes we use H s , Ls for H s (Ω), Ls (Ω). Let k · k, (·, ·) denote the norm and inner product in L2 (Ω) respectively, as well as the symbol · denotes the inner product in Rn . Finally, C is a general symbol for any positive constant. Let x0 ∈ Rn , n ≤ 2 and n(x) be the unit exterior normal vector at x ∈ Γ, m(x) = x − x0 , x ∈ Rn , n ≤ 2 and R(x0 ) := sup m(x) = sup |x − x0 |. x ∈Ω We set the norms Z kukpp = |u|p dx, Ω kukpΓ,p = Z (2.1) x ∈Ω |u(x)|p dΓ, kuk∞ = ess supx∈Ω |u(x)|. Γ Some of the basic tools used are: the embedding inequality for all u ∈ H01 (Ω); kuk4 ≤ c1 k∇uk2 , Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality for n = 1, 3/4 1/4 kuk4 ≤ c2 kuk2 k∇uk2 , for all u ∈ H01 (Ω); Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality for n = 2, kuk4 ≤ c3 kuk1/2 k∇uk1/2 , for all u ∈ H01 (Ω); and Young’s inequality ab ≤ 1 0 1 p a + 0 bp , p p for all a, b ≥ 0. Assumption 2.1. Let λ ∈ W 1,∞ (Ω) be a nonnegative function such that λ(x) ≥ λ0 > 0, a.e. in ω. If λ(x) ≥ λ0 > 0 in Ω, then χω ≡ 1 in Ω (See [9]). Assumption 2.2. Let ω be a neighborhood of Γ(x0 ), where Γ(x0 ) := {x ∈ Γ : m(x) · n(x) > 0}. Assumption 2.3. We assume that F ∈ C 1 (Ω) and F ∈ L∞ (Ω) with kF k∞ = M < +∞. Assumption 2.4. Let there be a neighborhood ω̂ of Γ(x0 ) such that ω̂ ∩ Ω ⊂ ω and a vector field h ∈ (C 1 (Ω))n , such that h = n on Γ(x0 ) h · n ≥ 0 a.e. in Γ, h = 0 on Ω \ ω̂. We conclude this section with the following lemma which will play essential role when establishing the asymptotic behavior of solutions in Section 4. EJDE-2012/179 UNIFORM DECAY 3 + Lemma 2.5 ([6, Lemma 9.1]). Let E : R+ 0 → R0 be a non-increasing function and assume that there exist two constants p > 0 and c > 0 such that Z +∞ E (p+1)/2 (t)dt ≤ cE(s), 0 ≤ s < +∞. s Then, for all t ≥ 0, ( cE(0)(1 + t)−2(p−1) E(t) ≤ cE(0)e1−wt if p > 1, if p = 1, where c and w are positive constants. 3. Existence and uniqueness of solutions In this section we derive a priori estimates for the solutions of the Klein-GordonSchrödinger system (1.1) - (1.4). Let us represent by wn a basis in H01 (Ω) ∩ H 2 (Ω) formed by the eigenfunctions of −∆, by Vm the subspace of H01 (Ω) ∩ H 2 (Ω) generated by the first m vectors and by m m X X gim (t)wi , φm (t) = him wi , ψm (t) = i=1 i=1 where (ψm (t), φm (t)) is the solution of the Cauchy problem i(ψt,m , u) + κ(∆ψ, u) + iα(ψm , u) = (φm ψm χω , u) ∀u ∈ Vm , (φtt,m , v) − (∆φm , v) + (φm , v) + (λ(x)φt,m , v) = − Re(F (x) · ∇ψm , v), (3.1) ∀v ∈ Vm , (3.2) with ψm (x, 0) = ψ0m → ψ0 , φ(x, 0) = φ0m → φ0 φt,m (0) = φ1m → φ1 in H01 (Ω) ∩ H 2 (Ω), in H01 (Ω). (3.3) Next we have the following existence and uniqueness result. Theorem 3.1. Let (ψ0 , φ0 , φ1 ) ∈ (H01 (Ω) ∩ H 2 (Ω))2 × H01 (Ω) and Assumption 2.1 and 2.3 hold. Then, there exists a unique solution for the problem (1.1)-(1.4) such that ψ ∈ L∞ (0, ∞; H01 (Ω) ∩ H 2 (Ω)), ψt ∈ L∞ (0, ∞; L2 (Ω)), φ ∈ L∞ (0, ∞; H01 (Ω) ∩ H 2 (Ω)), φt ∈ L∞ (0, ∞; H01 (Ω)), φtt ∈ L∞ (0, ∞; L2 (Ω)), ψ(x, 0) = ψ0 (x), φ(x, 0) = φ0 (x), φt,0 (x, 0) = φ1 (x), x ∈ Ω. Proof. The main idea is to use the Galerkin Method. Setting as u = ψ̄m (t) in (3.1) and by integrating and taking the imaginary part of the equation we obtain 1 d kψm (t)k2 + αkψm k2 = 0.
