We consider the Cauchy problem for the n-dimensional generalized damped Boussinesq equation. Based on decay estimates of solutions to the corresponding linear equation, we define a solution space with time weighted norms. Under small condition on the initial value, the existence and asymptotic behavior of global solutions in the corresponding Sobolev spaces are established by the contraction mapping principle. 1. Introduction We study the Cauchy problem of the generalized damped Boussinesq equation in n space dimensions utt − a∆utt − 2b∆ut − α∆3 u + β∆2 u − ∆u = ∆f (u) (1.1) with the initial value t=0: u = u0 (x), ut = u1 (x). (1.2) Here u = u(x, t) is the unknown function of x = (x1 , · · · , xn ) ∈ Rn and t > 0, a, b, α, β are positive constants. The nonlinear term f (u) = O(u1+θ ) and θ is a positive integer. The first initial boundary value problem for utt − a∆utt − 2b∆ut − α∆3 u + β∆2 u − ∆u = γ∆(u2 ) (1.3) in a unit circle was investigated in [16], where a, b, α, β are positive constants and γ is a constant. The existence and the uniqueness of strong solution was established and the solutions were constructed in the form of series in the small parameter present in the initial conditions. The long-time asymptotics was also obtained in the explicit form. In [1], the authors considered the initial-boundary value problem for (1.3) in the unit ball B ⊂ R3 , similar results were established. It is well-known that the equation (1.3) is closely contacted with many wave equations. For example, the equation (which we call the Bq equation) utt − uxx + uxxxx = (u2 )xx , 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35L30, 35L75. Key words and phrases.

WANG EJDE-2012/96 which was derived by Boussinesq in 1872 to describe shallow water waves. The improved Bq equation(which we call IBq equation) is utt − uxx − uxxtt = (u2 )xx . A modification of the IBq equation analogous of the MKdV equation yields utt − uxx − uxxtt = (u3 )xx , which we call the IMBq equation (see [5]). (1.1) is a higher order wave equation. In [8], we considered the Cauchy problem for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with inertial term. Combining high frequency, low frequency technique and energy methods, we obtained global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions. Wang, Liu and Zhang [13] investigated a fourth wave equation that is of the regularity-loss type. Based on the decay property of the solution operators, global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions are obtained. For global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions to higher order wave equations, we refer to [2]-[3] and [6]-[15] and references therein. The main purpose of this paper is to establish global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions to (1.1), (1.2) by using the contraction mapping principle. Firstly, we consider the decay property of the following linear equation utt − a∆utt − 2b∆ut − α∆3 u + β∆2 u − ∆u = 0. (1.4) We obtain the following decay estimate of solutions to (1.4) associated with initial condition (1.2), n k 1 k∂xk u(t)kL2 ≤ C(1 + t)− 4 − 2 − 2 (ku0 kḢ −1 + ku1 kḢ −2 + ku0 kH s+2 + ku1 kH s ) (1.5) 1 1 (k ≤ s + 2), n h k∂xh ut (t)kL2 ≤ C(1 + t)− 4 − 2 −1 (ku0 kḢ −1 + ku1 kḢ −2 + ku0 kH s+2 + ku1 kH s ) (1.6) 1 1 (h ≤ s) Based on the estimates (1.5) and (1.6), we define a solution space with time weighted norms. Then global existence and asymptotic behavior of classical solutions to (1.1), (1.2) are obtained by using the contraction mapping principle. We give notation which is used in this paper. Let F [u] denote the Fourier transform of u defined by Z û(ξ) = F [u] = e−iξ·x u(x)dx, Rn and we denote its inverse transform by F −1 . For 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, Lp = Lp (Rn ) denotes the usual Lebesgue space with the norm k · kLp . The usual Sobolev space of s is defined by Hps = (I − ∆)−s/2 Lp with the norm kf kHps = k(I − ∆)s/2 f kLp ; the homogeneous Sobolev space of s is defined by Ḣps = (−∆)−s/2 Lp with the norm kf kHps = k(−∆)s/2 f kLp ; especially H s = H2s , Ḣ s = Ḣ2s . Moreover, we know that Hps = Lp ∩ Ḣps for s ≥ 0. Finally, in this paper, we denote every positive constant by the same symbol C or c without confusion. [·] is the Gauss symbol. The article is organized as follows. In Section 2 we derive the solution formula of our semi-linear problem. We study the decay property of the solution operators appearing in the solution formula in section 3. Then, in Section 4, we discuss the linear problem and show the decay estimates. Finally, we prove global existence EJDE-2012/96 EXISTENCE AND ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR 3 and asymptotic behavior of solutions for the Cauchy problem (1.1), (1.2) in Section 5. 2. Solution formula The aim of this section is to derive the solution formula for problem (1.1), (1.2). We first investigate the equation (1.4). Taking the Fourier transform, we have (1 + a|ξ|2 )ûtt + 2b|ξ|2 ût + (α|ξ|6 + β|ξ|4 + |ξ|2 )û = 0. (2.1) The corresponding initial value are t=0: û = û0 (ξ), ût = û1 (ξ). (2.2) The characteristic equation of (2.1) is (1 + a|ξ|2 )λ2 + 2b|ξ|2 λ + α|ξ|6 + β|ξ|4 + |ξ|2 = 0. Let λ = λ± (ξ) be the corresponding eigenvalues of (2.3), we obtain p −b|ξ|2 ± |ξ| −1 − (a + β − b2 )|ξ|2 − (α + aβ)|ξ|4 − aα|ξ|6 λ± (ξ) = . 1 + a|ξ|2 (2.3) (2.4) The solution to the problem (2.1)-(2.2) is given in the form û(ξ, t) = Ĝ(ξ, t)û1 (ξ) + Ĥ(ξ, t)û0 (ξ), (2.5) where Ĝ(ξ, t) = 1 (eλ+ (ξ)t − eλ− (ξ)t ) λ+ (ξ) − λ− (ξ) (2.6) and 1 (λ+ (ξ)eλ− (ξ)t − λ− (ξ)eλ+ (ξ)t ). λ+ (ξ) − λ− (ξ) We define G(x, t) and H(x, t) by Ĥ(ξ, t) = G(x, t) = F −1 [Ĝ(ξ, t)](x), (2.7) H(x, t) = F −1 [Ĥ(ξ, t)](x), respectively, where F −1 denotes the inverse Fourier transform. Then, applying F −1 to (2.5), we obtain u(t) = G(t) ∗ u1 + H(t) ∗ u0 . By the Duhamel principle, we obtain the solution formula to (1.1), (1.2), Z t u(t) = G(t) ∗ u1 + H(t) ∗ u0 + G(t − τ ) ∗ (I − a∆)−1 ∆f (u)(τ )dτ. (2.8) (2.9) 0 3. Decay Property The aim of this section is to establish decay estimates of the solution operators G(t) and H(t) appearing in the solution formula (2.8). Lemma 3.1. The solution of problem (2.1), (2.2) satisfies |ξ|2 (1+|ξ|2 )|û(ξ, t)|2 +|ût (ξ, t)|2 ≤ Ce−cω(ξ)t (|ξ|2 (1+|ξ|2 )|û0 (ξ)|2 +|û1 (ξ)|2 ), (3.1) for ξ ∈ Rn and t ≥ 0, where ω(ξ) = |ξ|2 1+|ξ|2 . 4 Y.

Multiplying (2.1) by û 1 d {(1 + a|ξ|2 )|ût |2 + (α|ξ|6 + β|ξ|4 + |ξ|2 )|û|2 } + 2b|ξ|2 |ût |2 = 0. 2 dt ¯ and taking the real part, we obtain Multiplying (2.1) by û (3.2) 1 d ¯ + (α|ξ|6 + β|ξ|4 + |ξ|2 )|û|2 − (1 + a|ξ|2 )|ût |2 = 0. {b|ξ|2 |û|2 + 2(1 + a|ξ|2 )Re(ût û)} 2 dt (3.3) Multiplying both sides of (3.2) and (3.3) by (1 + a|ξ|2 ) and b|ξ|2 respectively, summing up the products yields d E + F = 0, (3.4) dt where 1 E = (1 + a|ξ|2 )2 |ût |2 + (1 + a|ξ|2 )(α|ξ|6 + β|ξ|4 + |ξ|2 )|û|2 + b2 |ξ|4 |û|2 2 ¯ + b|ξ|2 (1 + a|ξ|2 ) Re(ût û) and F = b|ξ|2 (α|ξ|6 + β|ξ|4 + |ξ|2 )|û|2 + b|ξ|2 (1 + a|ξ|2 )|ût |2 . A simple computation implies that C(1 + |ξ|2 )2 E0 ≤ E ≤ C(1 + |ξ|2 )2 E0 , (3.5) where E0 = |ξ|2 (1 + |ξ|2 )|û|2 + |ût |2 . Note that F ≥ c|ξ|2 E0 . It follows from (3.5) that F ≥ cω(ξ)E, (3.6) where ω(ξ) = |ξ|2 . 1 + |ξ|2 Using (3.4) and (3.6), we obtain d E + cω(ξ)E ≤ 0. dt Thus E(ξ, t) ≤ e−cw(ξ)t E(ξ, 0), which together with (3.5) proves the desired estimates (3.1). Then the proof is complete. Lemma 3.2. Let Ĝ(ξ, t) and Ĥ(ξ, t) be the fundamental solution of (1.4) in the Fourier space, which are given in (2.6) and (2.7), respectively. Then we have the estimates |ξ|2 (1 + |ξ|2 )|Ĝ(ξ, t)|2 + |Ĝt (ξ, t)|2 ≤ Ce−cω(ξ)t (3.7) |ξ|2 (1 + |ξ|2 )|Ĥ(ξ, t)|2 + |Ĥt (ξ, t)|2 ≤ C|ξ|2 (1 + |ξ|2 )e−cω(ξ)t (3.8) and for ξ ∈ Rn and t ≥ 0, where ω(ξ) = |ξ|2 1+|ξ|2 . EJDE-2012/96 EXISTENCE AND ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR 5 Proof. If û0 (ξ) = 0, from (2.5), we obtain û(ξ, t) = Ĝ(ξ, t)û1 (ξ), ût (ξ, t) = Ĝt (ξ, t)û1 (ξ). Substituting the equalities into (3.1) with û0 (ξ) = 0, we obtain (3.7). In what follows, we consider û1 (ξ) = 0, it follows from (2.5) that û(ξ, t) = Ĥ(ξ, t)û0 (ξ), ût (ξ, t) = Ĥt (ξ, t)û0 (ξ). Substituting the equalities into (3.1) with û1 (ξ) = 0, we obtain the desired estimate (3.8). The Lemma is proved. Lemma 3.3. Let k ≥ 0 and 1 ≤ p ≤ 2.

Proof. Firstly, we prove (3.9). By the Plancherel theorem and (3.7), we obtain k∂xk G(t) ∗ φk2L2 Z Z = |ξ|2k |Ĝ(ξ, t)|2 |φ̂(ξ)|2 dξ + |ξ|2k |Ĝ(ξ, t)|2 |φ̂(ξ)|2 dξ |ξ|≤R0 |ξ|≥R0 Z 2k−2 −c|ξ|2 t 2 ≤C |ξ| e |φ̂(ξ)| dξ |ξ|≤R0 Z −ct + Ce |ξ|2k (|ξ|2 (1 + |ξ|2 ))−1 |φ̂(ξ)|2 dξ (3.15) |ξ|≥R0 −l ≤ Ck|ξ| φ̂(ξ)k2Lp0 −ct + Ce Z 2 |ξ|(2k−2+2l)q e−cq|ξ| t dξ 1/q |ξ|≤R0 k∂x(k−2)+ φk2L2 , where R0 is a small positive constant and Hausdorff-Young inequality that 1 p + 1 p0 = 1, 2 p0 + 1 q = 1. It follows from l k |ξ|−l φ̂(ξ)kLp0 ≤ Ck(−∆)− 2 φkLp . (3.16) By a straight computation, we obtain Z 1/q 2 n |ξ|(2k−2+2l)q e−cq|ξ| t dξ ≤ C(1 + t)−( 2q +k−1+l) (3.17) |ξ|≤R0 1 1 ≤ C(1 + t)−(n( p − 2 )+k−1+l) . Combining (3.15), (3.16) and (3.17) yields (3.9). Similarly, using (3.7) and (3.8), respectively, we can prove (3.10)-(3.12). 6 Y. WANG EJDE-2012/96 In what follows, we prove (3.13). By the Plancherel theorem, (3.7), and Hausdorff-Young inequality, we have k∂xk G(t) ∗ (I − a∆)−1 ∆gk2L2 Z = |ξ|2k |Ĝ(ξ, t)|2 |ξ|4 (1 + a|ξ|2 )−2 |ĝ(ξ)|2 dξ |ξ|≤R0 Z + |ξ|2k |Ĝ(ξ, t)|2 |ξ|4 (1 + |ξ|2 )−2 |ĝ(ξ)|2 dξ |ξ|≥R0 Z Z 2 ≤C |ξ|2k+2 e−c|ξ| t |ĝ(ξ)|2 dξ + Ce−ct |ξ|2k |ĝ(ξ)|2 dξ |ξ|≤R0 |ξ|≥R0 Z 2 ≤ Ckĝ(ξ)k2L∞ |ξ|2k+2 e−c|ξ| t dξ + Ce−ct k∂xk gk2L2 |ξ|≤R0 −( n 2 +k+1) ≤ C(1 + t) kgk2L1 + Ce−ct k∂xk gk2L2 . where R0 is a small positive constant. Thus (3.13) follows. Similarly, we can prove (3.14). Thus we have completed the proof of lemma. 4. Decay estimate for solutions to the linear equation Theorem 4.1. Assume that u0 ∈ H s+2 (Rn ) ∩ Ḣ1−1 (Rn ), u1 ∈ H s (Rn ) ∩ Ḣ1−2 (Rn ) (s ≥ [ n2 ] + 5).

Proof. Firstly, we prove (4.1). Using (3.9) and (3.10), we obtain k∂xk u(t)kL2 ≤ k∂xk G(t) ∗ u1 kL2 + Ck∂xh H(t) ∗ u0 kL2 n k 1 ≤ C(1 + t)− 4 − 2 − 2 (ku0 kḢ −1 + ku1 kḢ −2 ) + Ce−ct (ku0 kH s+2 + ku1 kH s ) 1 k 1 −n 4 −2−2 ≤ C(1 + t) 1 (ku0 kḢ −1 + ku1 kḢ −2 + ku0 kH s+2 + ku1 kH s ). 1 1 Similar to the proof of (4.1), using (3.11) and (3.12), we can prove (4.2). In what follows, we prove (4.3). Using (4.1) and Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality, it is not difficult to get (4.3). The Lemma is proved. 5. Existence of global solution and asymptotic behavior The purpose of this section is to prove the existence and asymptotic behavior of global solutions to the Cauchy problem (1.1), (1.2).

(5.11) Using (5.10), (5.11) and taking R suitably small yields kΨ(ũ) − Ψ(ū)kX ≤ 1 kũ − ūkX . 2 (5.12) From (5.8) and (5.12), we know that Ψ is strictly contracting mapping. Consequently, we conclude that there exists a fixed point u ∈ XR of the mapping Ψ, which is a classical solution to (1.1), (1.2). This completes the proof. Acknowledgements.
