Estimates for a class of oscillatory integrals and decay rates for   wave-type equations
  This paper investigates higher order wave-type equations of the form $\partial_{tt}u+P(D_{x})u=0$, where the symbol $P(\xi)$ is a real, non-degenerate elliptic polynomial of the order $m\ge4$ on ${\bf R}^n$. Using methods from harmonic analysis, we first establish global pointwise time-space estimates for a class of oscillatory integrals that appear as the fundamental solutions to the Cauchy problem of such wave equations. These estimates are then used to establish (pointwise-in-time) $L^p-L^q$ estimates on the wave solution in terms of the initial conditions.
