Abstract
In this paper we prove the diffusion phenomenon for the linear wave equation. To derive the diffusion phenomenon, a new method is used. In fact, for initial data in some weighted spaces, prove that for , decays with the rate , faster than that of either or , where is the solution of the linear wave equation with initial data with , and is the solution of the related heat equation with initial data . This result improves the result in H. Yang and A. Milani [Bull. Sci. Math. 124 (2000), 415–433] in the sense that, under the above restriction on the initial data, the decay rate given in that paper can be improved by .
