Abstract

For the damped Boussinesq equation utt2butxx=αuxxxx+uxx+β(u2)xx,x(0,π),t>0;α,b=const>0,β=constR1, the second initial-boundary value problem is considered with small initial data. Its classical solution is constructed in the form of a series in small parameter present in the initial conditions and the uniqueness of solutions is proved. The long-time asymptotics is obtained in the explicit form and the question of the blow up of the solution in a certain case is examined. The possibility of passing to the limit b+0 in the constructed solution is investigated.
