We are concerned with the transmission problem of nonlinear viscoelastic waves in a heterogeneous medium, establishing the well-posedness of solutions and the exponential stability of the related energy functional. We introduce an auxiliary problem to prove the exponential stability and the proof combines an observability inequality and microlocal analysis tools.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
