%0 Journal Article %T Local existence and exponential growth for a semilinear damped wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions %A St¨¦phane Gerbi %A Belkacem Said-Houari %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X In this paper we consider a multi-dimensional damped semiliear wave equation with dynamic boundary conditions, related to the Kelvin-Voigt damping. We firstly prove the local existence by using the Faedo-Galerkin approximations combined with a contraction mapping theorem. Secondly, the exponential growth of the energy and the $L^p$ norm of the solution is presented. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0810.1013v1
