Energy decay for variable coefficient viscoelastic wave equation with acoustic boundary conditions in domains with nonlocally reacting boundary

Abstract

In this article, we study a variable coefficients viscoelastic wave equation with acoustic boundary conditions in domains with nonlocally reacting boundary. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals and using the energy compensation method, we prove that under suitable conditions on the initial data and the relaxation function, the energy of the system has an explicit and general decay rate.
