Initial boundary value problem of a class of mixed pseudo-parabolic Kirchhoff equations

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem for a mixed pseudo-parabolic Kirchhoff equation. Due to the comparison principle being invalid, we use the potential well method to give a threshold result of global existence and non-existence for the sign-changing weak solutions with initial energy <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ J(u_0)\leq d $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. When the initial energy <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ J(u_0)&gt;d $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, we find another criterion for the vanishing solution and blow-up solution. Our interest also lies in the discussion of the exponential decay rate of the global solution and life span of the blow-up solution.</p>
