Abstract

LpLq decay estimates of solutions to Cauchy problems of linear thermoelastic systems with second sound in three spatial variables are studied. By carefully analysis of the different effects of higher, middle and lower frequencies in phase space, the asymptotic behaviour of characteristic roots of coefficient matrices is obtained. Then, with the help of the information on characteristic roots and the interpolation theorem, a decay estimate of parabolic type for the coupled system of the potential part of displacement, temperature and heat flux is obtained. Finally, LpLq decay estimates of hyperbolic type for the original thermoelastic systems with second sound are obtained.
