Uniform stabilization of wave equation with localized internal damping and acoustic boundary condition with viscoelastic damping (Q721348)

The purpose is an investigation of the asymptotic stability of the energy associated to the initial-boundary value problem for a nonlinear wave equation with acoustic boundary conditions with memory terms. Under some special assumptions, the existence of a unique solution is proved and one defines the associated energy \(E(t)\). The main result states the existence of a \(T_0>0\) and of a decreasing function \(S(t)\to 0\), for \(t\to\infty\), such that for any \(T>T_0\), the following estimation holds \(E(t)\leq S(t/T-1)\). The paper ends with examples of explicitly computed decays.
