“…In this work, we propose to analyze the issue of exponential stability for the system (3)-( 6) (which is a system of two coupled wave equations) with past history inserted in the longitudinal displacement equation (3) with V (t) = 0 in (6), that is, we consider the following system (9) µp tt − βp xx + γβv xx = 0, in (0, ) × (0, ∞), (10) with boundary conditions v(0, t) = p(0, t) = v x ( , t) = p x ( , t) = 0, t > 0, (11) and initial data…”
