On the Kirchhoff plates equations with thermal effects and memory boundary conditions

In this paper we study the existence of weak and strong global solutions and uniform decay of the energy to the Kirchhoff plates equations with thermal effect and memory conditions working at the boundary. We show that the dissipation produced by the memory effect not depend on the present values of temperature gradient. That is, we show that the dissipation produced by memory effect is strong enough to produce exponential decay of the solution provided the relaxation functions also decays exponentially. When the relaxation functions decays polynomially, we show that the solution decays polynomially with the same rate.     

Uniform Rates of Decay in Anisotropic Thermo-Viscoelasticity

We consider the anisotropic and inhomogeneous thermo-viscoelastic equation. We prove that the first and second-order energy decay exponentially as time goes to infinity provided the relaxation function also decays exponentially to zero. While if the relaxation functions decay polynomially to zero, then the energy decays also polynomially. That is, the kernel of the convolution defines the rate of decay of the solution.

Asymptotic stability for a non-autonomous full von Kármán beam with thermo-viscoelastic damping

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior for a one-dimensional non-autonomous full von Kármán beam with a thermo-viscoelastic damping in the internal feedback. By introducing a suitable energy and some Lyapunov functionals, under some restrictions on the non-autonomous functions and the relaxation function, we show the asymptotic behavior of the solution and establish a general decay result for the energy.     

Exponential decay of non‐linear wave equation with a viscoelastic boundary condition

We study in this paper the global existence and exponential decay of solutions of the non‐linear unidimensional wave equation with a viscoelastic boundary condition. We prove that the dissipation induced by the memory effect is strong enough to secure global estimates, which allow us to show existence of global smooth solution for small initial data. We also prove that the solution decays exponentially provided the resolvent kernel of the relaxation function, k decays exponentially. When k decays polynomially, the solution decays polynomially and with the same rate. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

General decay for a class of viscoelastic problem with not necessarily decreasing kernel

In this paper, a problem which arises in a class of viscoelasticity is considered. We obtain the decay rate of the energy, for certain class of relaxation functions not necessarily exponentially or polynomially decaying to zero.     

On relaxation methods for systems of linear inequalities

In their classical papers Agmon and Motzkin and Schoenberg introduced a relaxation method to find a feasible solution for a system of linear inequalities. So far the method was believed to require infinitely many iterations on some problem instances since it could (depending on the dimension of the set of feasible soltions) converge asymptotically to a feasible solution, if one exists. Hence it could not be used to determine infeasibility.Using two lemma's basic to Khachian's polynomially bounded algorithm we can show that the relaxation method is finite in all cases and thus can handle infeasible systems as well. In spite of more refined stopping criteria the worst case behaviour of the relaxation method is not polynomially bounded as examplified by a class of problems constructed here.     

The optimal decay rate for a weak dissipative Bresse system

In this work we consider the Bresse system with frictional damping operating only on the angle displacement and we show that under a certain assertion the solution decays polynomially and the decay rate is optimal.     

A note on decay properties for the solutions of a class of partial differential equation with memory

The purpose of this article is to study decay properties for solutions of a class of PDEs with memory by Lyapunov functionals method. Moreover, we prove that when the kernels of the convolutions decay exponentially, the first and second order energy of the solutions decay exponentially. Also we show that when the kernels decay polynomially, these energies decay polynomially.     

Polynomial stability without polynomial decay of the relaxation function

We consider a linear viscoelastic problem and prove polynomial asymptotic stability of the steady state. This work improves previous works where it is proved that polynomial decay of solutions to the equilibrium state occurs provided that the relaxation function itself is polynomially decaying to zero. In this paper we will not assume any decay rate of the relaxation function. In case the kernel has some flat zones then we prove polynomial decay of solutions provided that these flat zones are not too big. If the kernel is strictly decreasing then there is no need for this assumption. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

General decay to a von Kármán system with memory

In this paper we study the von Kármán plate model with long-range memory and we show the general decay of the solution as time goes to infinity. This result generalizes and improves on earlier ones in the literature because it allows certain relaxation functions which are not necessarily of exponential or polynomial decay.     

Asymptotic behavior to a von Kármán equations of memory type with acoustic boundary conditions

We study the stability of solutions to a von Kármán plate model of memory type with acoustic boundary conditions. We establish the general decay rate result, using some properties of the convex functions. Our result is obtained without imposing any restrictive assumptions on the behavior of the relaxation function at infinity. These general decay estimates extend and improve on some earlier results-exponential or polynomial decay rates.     

Stability of solution for a mixture of thermoelastic of type III

In this work, we analyze the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of solution to the model of a thermoelastic mixture of type III. We establish sufficient conditions to guarantee the exponential decay of solutions. When the decay is not of exponential type, we prove that the solutions decay polynomially and we find the optimal polynomial decay rate. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Nonlinear Transmission Problem for Wave Equation with?Boundary Condition of Memory Type

In this paper we consider a transmission problem with a boundary damping condition of memory type, that is, the wave propagation over bodies consisting of two physically different types of materials. One component is clamped, while the other is in a viscoelastic fluid producing a dissipative mechanism on the boundary. We will study the global existence of solutions for the transmission problem, and moreover we show that if the relaxation function decays exponentially or polynomially, then the solutions for the problem have the same decay rates.     

Stability and optimality of decay rate for a weakly dissipative Bresse system

This paper is concerned with asymptotic stability of a Bresse system with two frictional dissipations. Under mathematical condition of equal speed of wave propagation, we prove that the system is exponentially stable. Otherwise, we show that Bresse system is not exponentially stable. Then, in the latter case, by using a recent result in linear operator theory, we prove the solution decays polynomially to zero with optimal decay rate. Better rates of polynomial decay depending on the regularity of initial data are also achieved. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Decay estimates for second order evolution equations with memory

This paper develops a unified method to derive decay estimates for general second order integro-differential evolution equations with semilinear source terms. Depending on the properties of convolution kernels at infinity, we show that the energy of a mild solution decays exponentially or polynomially as t→+∞. Our approach is based on integral inequalities and multiplier techniques.These decay results can be applied to various partial differential equations. We discuss three examples: a semilinear viscoelastic wave equation, a linear anisotropic elasticity model, and a Petrovsky type system.     

Stability of travelling wave solutions to a semilinear hyperbolic system with relaxation

We study a semilinear hyperbolic system with relaxation and investigate the asymptotic stability of travelling wave solutions with shock profile. It is shown that the travelling wave solution is asymptotically stable, provided the initial disturbance is suitably small. Moreover, we show that the time convergence rate is polynomially (resp. exponentially) fast as t→∞ if the initial disturbance decays polynomially (resp. exponentially) for x→∞. Our proofs are based on the space–time weighted energy method. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On a system of nonlinear wave equations with Balakrishnan–Taylor damping

In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem for a coupled system of nonlinear viscoelastic wave equations of Kirchhoff type with Balakrishnan–Taylor damping terms. For certain class of relaxation functions and certain initial data, we prove that the decay rate of the solution energy is similar to that of relaxation functions which is not necessarily of exponential or polynomial type. Also, we show that nonlinear source of polynomial type is able to force solutions to blow up in finite time even in presence of stronger damping.     

Mindlin–Timoshenko systems with Kelvin–Voigt: analyticity and optimal decay rates

This paper is concerned with asymptotic stability of Mindlin–Timoshenko plates with dissipation of Kelvin–Voigt type on the equations for the rotation angles. We prove that the corresponding evolution semigroup is analytic if a viscoelastic damping is also effective over the equation for the transversal displacements. On the contrary, if the transversal displacement is undamped, we show that the semigroup is neither analytic nor exponentially stable. In addition, in the latter case, we show that the solution decays polynomially and we prove that the decay rate found is optimal.     

Global existence and general decay for a nonlinear viscoelastic equation with nonlinear localized damping and velocity-dependent material density

In this article, we investigate a nonlinear viscoelastic equation with nonlinear localized damping and velocity-dependent material density. We prove the global existence of weak solutions and general decay of the energy by using the Faedo–Galerkin method [Z.Y. Zhang and X.J. Miao, Global existence and uniform decay for wave equation with dissipative term and boundary damping, Comput. Math. Appl. 59 (2010), pp. 1003–1018; J.Y. Park and J.R. Kang, Global existence and uniform decay for a nonlinear viscoelastic equation with damping, Acta Appl. Math. 110 (2010), pp. 1393–1406] and the perturbed energy method [Zhang and Miao (2010); X.S. Han, and M.X. Wang, Global existence and uniform decay for a nonlinear viscoelastic equation with damping, Nonlinear Anal. TMA. 70 (2009), pp. 3090–3098], respectively. Furthermore, for certain initial data and suitable conditions on the relaxation function, we show that the energy decays exponentially or polynomially depending the rate of the decay of the relaxation function. This result is an improvement over the earlier ones in the literature.
