Abstract
This work is concerned with a coupled system of viscoelastic wave equations in the presence of infinite-memory terms. We show that the stability of the system holds for a much larger class of kernels. More precisely, we consider the kernels gi : [0, +∞) → (0, +∞) satisfying gi0(t) ≤ −ξi(t)Hi(gi(t)), ∀ t ≥ 0 and for i = 1, 2, where ξi and Hi are functions satisfying some specific properties. Under this very general assumption on the behavior of gi at infinity, we establish a relation between the decay rate of the solutions and the growth of gi at infinity. This work generalizes and improves earlier results in the literature. Moreover, we drop the boundedness assumptions on the history data, usually made in the literature.
