In this paper, we study the linear thermo-visco-elastic system in one-dimensional space variable. The mathematical model is a hyperbolic-parabolic partial differential system. The solutions of the system show some decay property due to the parabolicity. Based on detailed analysis on the Green function of the system, the pointwise estimates of the solutions are obtained, from which the generalized Huygens’ principle is shown.
The aim of this paper is to prove the well-posedness(existence and uniqueness) of the L p entropy solution to the homogeneous Dirichlet problems for the anisotropic degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic equations with L p initial value.We use the device of doubling variables and some technical analysis to prove the uniqueness result.Moreover we can prove that the L p entropy solution can be obtained as the limit of solutions of the corresponding regularized equations of nondegenerate parabolic type.
