Abstract

In this paper, we show that the fastest decay rate for some Petrowsky-like dissipative semi-groups is given by the supremum of the real part of the spectrum of the associated infinitesimal generator, if the corresponding operator satisfies some spectral gap condition. We give also some applications to illustrate our setting.
