Global existence and polynomial decay for a problem with Balakrishnan-Taylor damping. (English) Zbl 1240.35330
The authors are concerned with the viscoelastic Kirchhoff equation with the Balakrishnan-Taylor damping. By integral inequalities and multiplier techniques they establish polynomial decay estimates for energy of the initial-boundary problem. $u_{tt}-(\xi _0+\xi _1\| \nabla u(t)\| ^2_2+\sigma (\nabla u(t),\nabla u_t(t))) \Delta u+\int _0^t h(t-s)\Delta u(s)\,ds=| u| ^p u$ in $$\Omega \times [0,+\infty )$$, $$u(x,0)=u_0(x)$$, $$u_t(x,0)=u_1(x)$$ in $$\Omega$$ and $$u(x,t)=0$$ in $$\partial \Omega \times [0,+\infty ),$$ where $$\Omega$$ is a bounded domain in $$\mathbb {R}^n$$ with smooth boundary.
The work extends authors’ previous result [Demonstr. Math. 44, No. 1, 67–90 (2011; Zbl 1227.35074)], where an exponential decay and a blow up result have been established.
