Abstract

In this paper we consider the following initial value problem

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (\partial _t - \Delta _x + w\cdot \nabla _x +\alpha I) u(t,x) - \beta u(t-\tau ,x) = 0, &{} (t,x)\in {\mathbb {R}}_+\times {\mathbb {R}}^n \\ u(t,x) = \phi (t,x)\in C([-\tau ,0],L^1({\mathbb {R}}^n)) &{} \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$

We describe the ranges of the parameters \(\alpha , \beta ,\tau \) that guarantee that every solution u(tx) vanishes as \(t\rightarrow \infty \).
