GENERAL DECAY OF SOLUTIONS FOR A VISCOELASTIC EQUATION WITH NONLINEAR DAMPING AND SOURCE TERMS

The initial boundary value problem for a viscoelastic equation ｜ u t ｜ ρ u tt △u-△u tt ＋ t 0 g（ts）△u（s）ds ＋ ｜ u t ｜ m u t = ｜ u ｜ p u in a bounded domain is considered, where ρ, m, p 〉 0 and g is a nonnegative and decaying function. The general uniform decay of solution energy is discussed under some conditions on the relaxation function g and the initial data by adopting the method of [14, 15, 19]. This work generalizes and improves earlier results in the literature.

GENERAL DECAY FOR A VISCOELASTIC EQUATION OF VARIABLE COEFFICIENTS WITH A TIME-VARYING DELAY IN THE BOUNDARY FEEDBACK AND ACOUSTIC BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

Without the linear growth condition, by the use of Lyapunov function, this paper estab- lishes the existence^and-uniqueness theorem of global solutions to a class of neutral stochastic differen- tim equations with unbounded delay, and examines the pathwise stability of this solution with general decay rate. As an application of our results, this paper also considers in detail a two-dimensional unbounded delay neutral stochastic differential equation with polynomial coefficients.

STABILITY OF A VON KARMAN EQUATION WITH INFINITE MEMORY

In this paper, we consider a von Karman equation with infinite memory. For yon Karman equations with finite memory, there is a lot of literature concerning on existence of the solutions, decay of the energy, and existence of the attractors. However, there are few results on existence and energy decay rate of the solutions for yon Karman equations with infinite memory. The main goal of the present paper is to generalize previous results by treating infinite history instead of finite history.
