Abstract: We consider an anisotropic hyperbolic equation with memory term: partial_t^2 u(x,t) = sum_{i,j=1}^n partial_i(a_{ij}(x)partial_ju) + int^t_0 sum_{| alpha| le 2} b_{alpha}(x,t,eta)partial_x^{alpha}u(x,eta) deta + F(x,t) for xinOmega and tin(0,T) or in(T,T), which is a model equation for viscoelasticity. First we establish a Carleman estimate for this equation with overdetermining boundary data on a suitable lateral subboundary Gammaimes(T,T). Second we apply the Carleman estimate to establish a both-sided estimate of |u(cdot,0)|H3(Omega) by partialuu|Gammaimes(0,T) under the assumption that partialtu(cdot,0)=0 and T>0 is sufficiently large, GammasubsetpartialOmega satisfies some geometric condition. Such an estimate is a kind of observability inequality and related to the exact controllability. Finally we apply the Carleman estimate to an inverse source problem of determining a spatial varying factor in F(x,t) and we establish a both-sided Lipschitz stability estimate.
