Published: 13 December 2012Abstract
In this paper, we are concerned with a system of nonlinear viscoelastic wave equations
with initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions in 
(
). Under suitable assumptions, we establish a general decay result by multiplier techniques,
which extends some existing results for a single equation to the case of a coupled
system.
