No label defined (Q4336729)

The author studies the existence of periodic classical solutions to the equation \[ u_{tt}(x,t) = {\partial \over \partial x}p(u_x(x,t)) - \int_0^\infty a(\tau){\partial \over \partial x} q(u_x(x,t-\tau)) d\tau + f(x,t), \] where \(0<x<1\), and \(u(0,t)=u(1,t)=0\). It is assumed that \(p(\xi) = c^2\xi\), \(q(0) =0\), \(\mu \leq \int_0^\infty a(\tau) d\tau q'(\xi) \leq c^2-\lambda\) for some positive constants \(\mu\) and \(\lambda\), \(a\) is integrable, and that \(e^{\delta_0t} a(t)\) is completely monotone for some positive constant \(\delta_0\).
