We present new decay estimates of solutions for the mixed problem of the equation v tt − v xx + v t =0, which has the weighted initial data [ v 0 , v 1 ]∈( H 1 0 (0,∞) ∩ L 1, γ (0,∞)) × (L 2 (0,∞)∩ L 1, γ (0,∞)) (for definition of L 1, γ (0,∞), see below) satisfying γ∈[0,1]. Similar decay estimates are also derived to the Cauchy problem in ℝ N for u tt −Δ u + u t =0 with the weighted initial data. Finally, these decay estimates can be applied to the one dimensional critical exponent problem for a semilinear damped wave equation on the half line. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
