In this short note, we recover by a different method the new result due to Attouch, Chbani, Peyrouqet, and Redont concerning the weak convergence as t → +∞ of solutions x(t) to the second-order differential equationwhere K > 3 and Φ is a smooth convex function defined on a Hilbert space H. Moreover, we improve their result on the rate of convergence of Φ(x(t)) − min Φ.
