Title: Decay of solutions for a plate equation with p-Laplacian and memory term Authors: Wenjun Liu (Nanjing Univ., Nanjing, China) Gang Li (Nanjing Univ., Nanjing, China) Linghui Hong (Nanjing Univ., Nanjing, China) Abstract: In this note we show that the assumption on the memory term g in Andrade [1] can be modified to be $g'(t)\leq -\xi(t)g(t)$, where $\xi(t)$ satisfies $$ \xi'(t)\leq0,\quad \int_0^{+\infty}\xi(t){\rm d}t=\infty. $$ Then we show that rate of decay for the solution is similar to that of the memory term.
