We consider the nonlinear pseudoparabolic equation with a memory termut-Δu-Δut+∫0tλt-τΔuτdτ=div∇up-2u+u1+α,x∈Ω,t>0, with an initial condition and Dirichlet boundary condition. Under negative initial energy and suitable conditions onp,α, and the relaxation functionλ(t), we prove a finite-time blow-up result by using the concavity method.
