Blow-up and general decay of solutions for a nonlinear viscoelastic equation

Wenying Chen, Yangping Xiong

Abstract:
In this article we investigate a nonlinear viscoelastic equation that admits blow-up and decay. First, we establish blow-up results for this equation, even for vanishing initial energy. Then, we show that the solutions decay under suitable conditions.
