Abstract: In this paper we consider wave viscoelastic equation with dynamic boundary condition in a bounded domain, we establish a general decay result of energy by exploiting the frequency domain method which consists in combining a contradiction argument and a special analysis for the resolvent of the operator of interest with assumptions on past history relaxation function.


The authors prove an exponential decay for the semigroup solution to the viscoelastic equation $u_{tt}-\Delta u+\int_{0}^{t}g(s)\Delta u(t-s)ds=0$ posed in $\Omega \times (0,\infty)$, where $\Omega $ is a bounded domain in $ \mathbb{R}^{n}$. The boundary $\partial \Omega $ is decomposed in $\Gamma_{0}\cup \Gamma_{1}$ and the boundary condition $u_{tt}=-(\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}+\int_{0}^{t}g(s)\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}(x,t-s)ds)=0$ is imposed on $\Gamma_{1}\times (0,\infty)$, while the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition $u=0$ is imposed on $\Gamma_{0}\times (0,\infty)$. The initial conditions $u(x,0)=u_{0}(x)$ and $u_{t}(x,0)=u_{1}$ are imposed. The relaxation function $g$ is supposed to be a nonnegative and differentiable function on $(0,\infty)$ such that $1-\int_{0}^{\infty}g(s)ds=l>0$ and there exist positive $\zeta_{0}$ and $\zeta_{1}$ such that $-\zeta_{1}g(t)$ $\leq g^{\prime}(t)\leq -\zeta_{0}g(t)$ in $\mathbb{R}$. \par Introducing $V=(u,u_{t},\gamma_{1}(u_{t}),\eta)$, where $\gamma_{1}$ is the trace operator on $\Gamma_{1}$ and $\eta (x,t)=u(x,t)-u(x,t-s)$, the authors first write an equivalent formulation of this problem as $V^{\prime}(t)+\mathcal{A}V(t)=0$ posed in the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}=H_{\Gamma_{0}}^{1}(\Omega)\times L^{2}(\Omega)\times L^{2}(\Gamma_{1})\times \mathcal{M}$, where $\mathcal{M}=L_{g}^{2}(\mathbb{R}_{+};H_{\Gamma_{0}}^{1}(\Omega))$. The initial condition $V(0)=V_{0}$ is imposed. Assuming that the initial data $V_{0}$ belongs to $\mathcal{H}$ and using $m$-dissipative arguments, the authors prove the existence of a solution $V\in C(\mathbb{R}_{+};\mathcal{H})$. If the initial condition $V_{0}$ further belongs to the domain $D(\mathcal{A})$ of the dissipative operator$\mathcal{A}$, this solution is classically proved to belong to $C^{1}(\mathbb{R}_{+};\mathcal{H})\cap C(\mathbb{R}_{+};D(\mathcal{A}))$. \par The main result of the paper proves that $\left\Vert e^{t\mathcal{A}}V_{0}\right\Vert_{\mathcal{H}}\leq Ce^{-\gamma t}\left\Vert V_{0}\right\Vert_{D(\mathcal{A})}$. The proof is decomposed in two main steps, the authors proving that for every real number $\beta$, the resolvent $i\beta I-\mathcal{A}$ is injective and surjective.
