A nonlinear wave equation of Kirchhoff type with memory condition at the boundary in a bounded domain is considered. We establish a general decay result which includes the usual exponential and polynomial decay rates. Furthermore, our results allow certain relaxation functions which are not necessarily of exponential and polynomial decay. This improves earlier results in the literature.
