Spatial behavior for solutions in heat conduction with two delays

Abstract

In this note we investigate the spatial behavior of the solutions of the equation proposed to describe a theory for the heat conduction with two delay terms. We obtain an alternative of the Phragmén-Lindelöf type, which means that the solutions either decay or blow-up at infinity, both options in an exponential way. We also describe how to obtain an upper bound for the amplitude term. This is the first contribution on spatial behavior for partial differential equations involving two delay terms. We use energy arguments. The main point of the contribution is the use of an exponentially weighted energy function.
