Global existence and asymptotic behavior for a viscoelastic Kirchhoff equation with a logarithmic nonlinearity, distributed delay and Balakrishnan-Taylor damping terms

Abstract

A nonlinear viscoelastic Kirchhoff-type equation with a logarithmic nonlinearity, Balakrishnan-Taylor damping, dispersion and distributed delay terms is studied. We establish the global existence of the solutions of the problem and by the energy method we prove an explicit and general decay rate result under suitable hypothesis.
