Solutions of Kirchhoff plate equations with internal damping and logarithmic nonlinearity

Ducival Pereira, Sebastiao Cordeiro, Carlos Raposo, Celsa Maranhao

Abstract:
In this article we study the existence of weak solutions for the nonlinear initial boundary value problem of the Kirchhoff equation

where Ω is a bounded domain in R2 with smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$, T>0 is a fixed but arbitrary real number, M(s) is a continuous function on $[0,+\infty)$ and η is the unit outward normal on $\partial \Omega$. Our results are obtained using the Galerkin method, compactness approach, potential well corresponding to the logarithmic nonlinearity, and the energy estimates due to Nakao.
