Abstract

We study existence, uniqueness, continuous dependence, general decay of solutions of an initial boundary value problem for a viscoelastic wave equation with strong damping and nonlinear memory term. At first, we state and prove a theorem involving local existence and uniqueness of a weak solution. Next, we establish a sufficient condition to get an estimate of the continuous dependence of the solution with respect to the kernel function and the nonlinear terms. Finally, under suitable conditions to obtain the global solution, we prove the general decay property with positive initial energy for this global solution.
