Abstract.
This paper is devoted to existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior, as time tends to infinity, of the solutions of an integro-partial differential equation arising from the theory of heat conduction with memory, in presence of a temperature-dependent heat supply. A linearized heat flux law involving positive instantaneous conductivity is matched with the energy balance, to generate an autonomous semilinear system subject to initial history and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Existence and uniqueness of solution is provided. Moreover, under proper assumptions on the heat flux memory kernel, the existence of absorbing sets in suitable function spaces is achieved.
