Boundary stabilization of Ventcel problems

The problem of boundary stabilization for the isotropic linear elastodynamic system and the wave equation with Ventcel's conditions are considered (see [12]). The boundary observability and the exact controllability were etablished in [11]. We prove here the enegy decay to zero for the elastodynamic system with stationary Ventcel's conditions by introducing a nonlinear boundary feedback. We also give a boundary feedback leading to arbitrarily large energy decay rates for the elastodynamic system with evolutive Ventcel's conditions. A spectral study proves, finally, that the natural feedback is not sufficient to assure the exponential decay in the case of the wave equation with Ventcel's conditions.
