In analogy to a characterisation of operator matrices generating C0-semigroups due to R. Nagel ([13]), we give conditions on its entries in order that a 2×2 operator matrix generates a cosine operator function. We apply this to systems of wave equations, to second order initial-boundary value problems, and to overdamped wave equations. 

A Variational Approach to Strongly Damped Wave Equations

We discuss a Hilbert space method that allows to prove analytical well-posedness of a class of linear strongly damped wave equations. The main technical tool is a perturbation lemma for sesquilinear

Asymptotics of semigroups generated by operator matrices

AbstractWe survey some known results about operator semigroup generated by operator matrices with diagonal or coupled domain. These abstract results are applied to the characterization of

Damped wave equations with dynamic boundary conditions

Abstract We discuss several classes of linear second order initial-boundary value problems in which damping terms appear in the main wave equation and/or in the dynamic boundary condition. We

QUALITATIVE PROPERTIES OF COUPLED PARABOLIC SYSTEMS OF EVOLUTION EQUATIONS

We apply functional analytical and variational methods in order to study well-posedness and qualitative properties of evolution equations on product Hilbert spaces. To this aim we introduce an

A theoretical framework for sesquilinear forms defined on the direct sum of Hilbert spaces is developed in the first part. Conditions for the boundedness, ellipticity and coercivity of the

Systems with strong damping and their spectra

We establish a new method for obtaining nonconvex spectral enclosures for operators associated with second‐order differential equations z¨(t)+Dz˙(t)+A0z(t)=0 in a Hilbert space. In particular, we

Many coupled evolution equations can be described via 2×2-block operator matrices of the form A = [

Well-posedness and symmetries of strongly coupled network equations

We consider a class of evolution equations taking place on the edges of a finite network and allow for feedback effects between different, possibly non-adjacent edges. This generalizes the setting

Abstract.We introduce an abstract setting that allows to discuss wave equations with time-dependent boundary conditions by means of operator matrices. We show that such problems are well-posed if and

Decoupling techniques for wave equations with dynamic boundary conditions

In this note we introduce a decoupling technique for operator matrices with "non-diagonal" domains on "coupled" spaces which greatly simplifies the study of Cauchy problems stemming from wave

We define an abstract setting to treat wave equations equipped with time‐dependent acoustic boundary conditions on bounded domains of Rn . We prove a well‐posedness result and develop a spectral

Abstract.In this paper we convert a (linear abstract) initial boundary value problem into an abstract Cauchy problem on some product space and use semigroup methods to solve it. In particular, we
