Abstract
In this paper we prove exponential decay of solutions for a problem which appears in viscoelasticity. The conditions on the admissible kernels are relaxed so as to allow for more kernels to be treated. Namely, the smallness of the kernels is replaced by the smallness of the set where the kernel is flat. This work extends previous works and improves in particular a recent result by Pata [16]. This is established by introducing two lemmas, an idea due to Pata and using the energy method.
