Abstract

This paper is concerned with a class of quasilinear wave equations with memory vertical bar u(t)vertical bar(rho)u(tt) - alpha Delta u - Delta u(tt) + integral(t)(tau) mu(t - s)Delta u(s)ds - gamma Delta u(t) + f(u) = h, rho > 0, which was considered by several authors, with tau = 0, since 2001. Existing results are mainly devoted to global existence, energy decay, existence with small data and blow-up of,solutions. However uniqueness seems to be an open problem and existence of attractors was no yet considered. The objective of the present paper is to provide some results on the well-posedness and longtime behavior to this equation in a more general setting which includes past history, that is, by taking tau = -infinity in the memory term.
