Authors: Vladimir Varlamov (The Univ. of Texas at Austin, TX, USA) Abstract: For the damped Boussinesq equation the first initial-boundary value problem is considered in a unit disk. Its strong solution is constructed in the form of a series in the small parameter present in the initial conditions. The global-in-time solvability follows from the construction. The first-order long-time asymptotics is calculated with the uniform in space estimate of the remainder. Published October 24, 2000. Math Subject Classifications: 35K55, 35B40.
