Decay of energy for viscoelastic wave equations with Balakrishnan-Taylor damping and memories

Abstract

In this article, we consider a viscoelastic wave equation with Balakrishnan-Taylor damping, and finite and infinite memory terms in a bounded domain. Under suitable assumptions on relaxation functions and with certain initial data, by adopting the perturbed energy method, we establish a decay of energy which depends on the behavior of the relaxation functions.
