Stability of initial-boundary value problem for quasilinear viscoelastic equations

Kun-Peng Jin, Jin Liang, Ti-Jun Xiao

Abstract:
We investigate the stability of the initial-boundary value problem for the quasilinear viscoelastic equation

where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^{n}\; (n\geq 1)$ with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$, $\rho$ is a positive real number, and g(t) is the relaxation function. We present a general polynomial decay result under some weak conditions on g, which generalizes and improves the existing related results. Moreover, under the condition $g'(t)\leq -\xi(t)g^{p}(t)$, we obtain uniform exponential and polynomial decay rates for $1\leq p<2$, while in the previous literature only the case $1\leq p<3/2$ was studied. Finally, under a general condition $g'(t)\leq -H(g(t))$, we establish a fine decay estimate, which is stronger than the previous results.
