Abstract
The contraction semigroup \(S(t)=\mathrm{e}^{t\mathbb {A}}\) generated by the abstract linear dissipative evolution equation
is analyzed, where A is a strictly positive selfadjoint operator and f is an arbitrary nonnegative continuous function on the spectrum of A. A full description of the spectrum of the infinitesimal generator \(\mathbb {A}\) of S(t) is provided. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability, the semiuniform stability and the exponential stability of the semigroup are found, depending on the behavior of f and the spectral properties of its zero-set. Applications to wave, beam and plate equations with fractional damping are also discussed.

It is understood that, in the real case, the results of this paper apply by considering the natural complexifications of the involved spaces and operators.

Appendix: Portraits of the Spectra
Appendix: Portraits of the Spectra
We illustrate some particular instances of the spectra of the operators \(\mathbb {A}_\vartheta \), \(\mathbb {A}_\vartheta ^0\) and \(\mathbb {A}_\vartheta ^\omega \) discussed in Sect. 15.
Portraits of \(\varvec{\sigma (\mathbb {A}_\vartheta )}\). Choosing \(H=V=L^2(0,\pi )\) and \(A=L\), the eigenvalues \(\lambda _n\) are equal to
Accordingly, the eigenvalues \(\xi _{\lambda _n}^{\pm }\) of \(\mathbb {A}_\vartheta \) take the form
Making use of Corollary 15.2 and the software Mathematica®, we have the following pictures of \(\sigma (\mathbb {A}_\vartheta )\), corresponding to the cases \(\vartheta =-1,0,1\) (Figs. 1, 2, 3).
Portraits of \(\varvec{\sigma (\mathbb {A}_\vartheta ^0)}\). Choosing \(H=V=L^2(0,\pi )\), the eigenvalues \(\lambda _n^2\) of the operator \(A=L^2\) are equal to
Therefore, the eigenvalues \(\xi _{\lambda _n^2}^{\pm }\) of \(\mathbb {A}_\vartheta ^0\) are given by
Making use of Theorem 15.4 and the software Mathematica®, we get the following pictures of \(\sigma (\mathbb {A}_\vartheta ^0)\), corresponding to the choices \(\vartheta =-1,0,1\) (Figs. 4, 5, 6).
Portraits of \(\varvec{\sigma (\mathbb {A}_\vartheta ^\omega )}\). Choosing \(H=V^1=H_0^1(0,\pi )\), the eigenvalues \(\nu _n\) of the operator \(A = (1+ \omega L)^{-1} L^2\) are equal to
Hence, the eigenvalues \(\xi _{\nu _n}^{\pm }\) of \(\mathbb {A}_\vartheta ^\omega \) read
where f is given by (2.8). Making use of Theorem 15.6 and the software Mathematica®, we obtain the following pictures of \(\sigma (\mathbb {A}_\vartheta ^\omega )\), corresponding to the choices \(\vartheta =0,1\) (Figs. 7, 8).
