We study the stabilization of the wave equation with variable coefficients in a bounded domain and a time-varying and nonlinearterm By the Riemannian geometry methods and a suitable assumption of nonlinearity and the time-varying term we obtain theuniform decay of the energy of the system
1 Introduction
There aremany results concerning the boundary stabilizationof classical wave equations See [1ndash6] for linear cases and [7ndash12] for nonlinear onesThe stability of the wave equation withvariable coefficients has attracted much attention See [13ndash23] and many others In [20] by the methods in [11 24]the authors study the stability of the wave equation withnonlinear term and time-varying term However under thecondition the nonlinear term has upper bound and the time-varying term has lower bound the stability of the waveequation was not studied in [20] In this paper our purpose isto study the stability of thewave equation under the conditionthe nonlinear term has upper bound and the time-varyingterm has lower bound
LetΩ be a bounded domain inR119899 with smooth boundaryΓ It is assumed that Γ consists of two parts Γ
1and Γ2(Γ =
Γ1cup Γ2) with Γ
2= 0 Γ1cap Γ2= 0 Define

where div is the divergence operator of the standardmetric ofR119899 119860(119909) = (119886
119894119895(119909)) is symmetric positively definite matrices
for each 119909 isin R119899 and 119886119894119895(119909) are smooth functions on R119899
We consider the stabilization of the wave equations withvariable coefficients and time-varying delay in the dissipativeboundary feedback

We define
119892 = 119860minus1
(119909) for 119909 isin R119899 (8)
as a Riemannian metric on R119899 and consider the couple(R119899 119892) as a Riemannian manifold with an inner product

Let 119863119892denote the Levi-Civita connection of the metric
119892 For the variable coefficients the main assumptions are asfollows
Assumption A There exists a vector field119867 on Ω and a con-stant 120588

where 120575 is a positive constant
Assumption (10) was introduced by [13] as a checkableassumption for the exact controllability of the wave equationwith variable coefficients For examples on the condition see[13 14]
Based on Assumption (10) Assumption A was given by[19] to study the stabilization of the wave equation with vari-able coefficients and boundary condition of memory type

2 Basic Inequality of the System
In this section we work on Ω with two metrics at the sametime the standard dotmetric ⟨sdot sdot⟩ and theRiemannianmetric119892 = ⟨sdot sdot⟩
119892given by (8)
If 119891 isin 1198621
(R119899) we define the gradient nabla119892119891 of 119891 in the
Riemannian metric 119892 via the Riesz representation theoremby
119883(119891) = ⟨nabla119892119891119883⟩119892
(16)
where 119883 is any vector field on (R119899 119892) The following lemmaprovides further relations between the two metrics see [13]in Lemma 21
Lemma 2 Let 119909 = (1199091 119909
119899) be the natural coordinate
system inR119899 Let119891 ℎ be functions and letH119883 be vector fieldsThen
(a)
⟨119867(119909) 119860 (119909)119883 (119909)⟩119892= ⟨119867 (119909) 119883 (119909)⟩ 119909 isin R

where nabla119891 is the gradient of 119891 in the standard metric(c)
nabla119892119891 (ℎ) = ⟨nabla

= ⟨nabla119891119860 (119909) nablaℎ⟩ 119909 isin R119899
(19)
where the matrix 119860(119909) is given in formula (1)
To proveTheorem 1 we still need several lemmas furtherDefine

(22)
where 119879 ge 0 The assertion (22) implies that 119864(119905) is decreasing
Proof Differentiating (7) we obtain

2 Basic Inequality of the System
In this section we work on Ω with two metrics at the sametime the standard dotmetric ⟨sdot sdot⟩ and theRiemannianmetric119892 = ⟨sdot sdot⟩
119892given by (8)
If 119891 isin 1198621
(R119899) we define the gradient nabla119892119891 of 119891 in the
Riemannian metric 119892 via the Riesz representation theoremby
119883(119891) = ⟨nabla119892119891119883⟩119892
(16)
where 119883 is any vector field on (R119899 119892) The following lemmaprovides further relations between the two metrics see [13]in Lemma 21
Lemma 2 Let 119909 = (1199091 119909
119899) be the natural coordinate

4 Application of the System (2)Nonlinear feedback describes a property of a physical systemthat is the response by the physical system to an appliedforce is nonlinear in its effect One of the applications ofthe system (2) is in sound waves where the system (2)describes the reflection of sound in heterogeneous materialsat surfaces of some materials with nonlinearity of interest inengineering practice Theorem 1 indicates that the energy ofthe sound waves with the reflection of sound at surfaces inheterogeneous materials at surfaces of some materials withnonlinearity is uniform decay under a suitable assumption ofthe nonlinearity
