Boundary stabilization of memory-type thermoelastic systems

Abstract

In this article we consider an n-dimentional thermoelastic system with a viscoelastic damping localized on a part of the boundary. We establish an explicit and general decay rate result that allows a larger class of relaxation functions and generalizes previous results existing in the literature.
