Structural stability and decay estimate for marine riser equations

We study the problem of the continuous dependence of weak and strong solutions to the initial boundary value problem for multidimensional marine riser equations on the parameters of the equation. The continuous dependence of solutions on the coefficient of the effective tension, on the coefficient of the nonlinear drag, and on the coefficients of the Coriolis force is established.
