Title: Boundary stabilization of memory-type thermoelastic systems
        
Author: Muhammad I. Mustafa (King Fahd Univ., Dhahran, Saudi Arabia)

Abstract:
 In this article we consider an n-dimentional thermoelastic system with a
 viscoelastic damping localized on a part of the boundary. We establish an
 explicit and general decay rate result that allows a larger class of
 relaxation functions and generalizes previous results existing in the
 literature.
