In the case where the convection term satisfies the convex and sub-characteristic conditions, it is known by the work of Ueda [7] and Ueda-Nakamura-Kawashima [10] that the solution tends toward a stationary solution. In this paper, we prove that even for a quite wide class of the convection term, such a linear superposition of the stationary solution and the rarefaction wave is asymptotically stable. Moreover, in the case where the solution tends to the non-degenerate stationary wave, we derive that the time convergence rate is polynomially (resp. exponentially) fast if the initial perturbation decays polynomially (resp. exponentially) as x → ∞. Our proofs are based on a technical L 2 weighted energy method.}, pages = {37--52}, title = {Asymptotic behavior of solutions for damped wave equations with non-convex convection term on the half line}, volume = {49}, year = {2012} }
