Abstract

We consider a wave equation with an internal damping represented by a fractional derivative of lower order than one. An exponential growth result is proved in presence of a source of polynomial type. This result improves an earlier one where the initial data are supposed to be very large in some norm. A new argument based on a new functional is proposed.

A correction to this paper is available.
