Theoretical and numerical study of the blow up in a nonlinear viscoelastic problem with variable-exponent and arbitrary positive energy

Acta Mathematica Scientia volume 42, pages 141–154 (2022)Cite this article

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear viscoelastic wave equation with variable exponents:

$$u_{tt}-\Delta u+\int_{0}^{t} g(t-\tau)\Delta u(x,\tau)\rm{d}\tau+\mu u_{t}=\vert u\vert^{p(x)-2}u,$$

where μ is a nonnegative constant and the exponent of nonlinearity p(·) and g are given functions. Under arbitrary positive initial energy and specific conditions on the relaxation function g, we prove a finite-time blow-up result. We also give some numerical applications to illustrate our theoretical results.
