Let Φ:H be a 𝒞 2 function on a real Hilbert space and ΣH× the manifold defined by Σ:= Graph (Φ). We study the motion of a material point with unit mass, subjected to stay on Σ and which moves under the action of the gravity force (characterized by g>0), the reaction force and the friction force (γ>0 is the friction parameter). For any initial conditions at time t=0, we prove the existence of a trajectory x(.) defined on + . We are then interested in the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories when t+. More precisely, we prove the weak convergence of the trajectories when Φ is convex. When Φ admits a strong minimum, we show moreover that the mechanical energy exponentially decreases to its minimum.
