On a class of a coupled nonlinear viscoelastic Kirchhoff equations variable-exponents: global existence, blow up, growth and decay of solutions

Abstract

Abstract In this work, we consider a quasilinear system of viscoelastic equations with dispersion, source, and variable exponents. Under suitable assumptions on the initial data and the relaxation functions, we obtained that the solution of the system is global and bounded. Next, the blow-up is proved with negative initial energy. After that, the exponential growth of solutions is showed with positive initial energy, and by using an integral inequality due to Komornik, the general decay result is obtained in the case of absence of the source term.
