$L^p$-resolvent estimates and time decay for generalized thermoelastic plate equations

We consider the Cauchy problem for a coupled system generalizing the thermoelastic plate equations. First we prove resolvent estimates for the stationary operator and conclude the analyticity of the associated semigroup in $L^p$-spaces, $1<p<infty$, for certain values of the parameters of...

Description
Summary:We consider the Cauchy problem for a coupled system generalizing the thermoelastic plate equations. First we prove resolvent estimates for the stationary operator and conclude the analyticity of the associated semigroup in $L^p$-spaces, $1<p<infty$, for certain values of the parameters of the system; here the Newton polygon method is used. Then we prove decay rates of the $L^q(mathbb{R}^n)$-norms of solutions, $2leq qleqinfty$, as time tends to infinity.
