Abstract

Using an energy method we investigate the decay of end effects for a generalized heat conduction problem defined on a semi-infinite cylindrical region. With homogeneous Dirichlet conditions on the lateral surface of the cylinder it is shown that solutions either grow exponentially or decay exponentially in the distance from the finite end of the cylinder. The effect of perturbing the equation parameters is also investigated.
