In this paper, we consider a viscoelastic wave equation with variable exponents:
utt−Δu+∫0tg(t−s)Δu(s)ds+a|utfalse|m(x)−2ut=b|ufalse|p(x)−2u,
where the exponents of nonlinearity p(·) and m(·) are given functions and a,b > 0 are constants. For nonincreasing positive function g, we prove the blow‐up result for the solutions with positive initial energy as well as nonpositive initial energy. We extend the previous blow‐up results to a viscoelastic wave equation with variable exponents.
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.
