Abstract
This work deals with intrinsic decay rates for the energy of an initial
boundary value problem with a nonlocal boundary condition for a system
of nonlinear singular viscoelastic equations. We prove the intrinsic
decay rates for the energy of a singular one-dimensional viscoelastic
system with a nonlinear source term and nonlocal boundary condition of
relaxation kernels described by the inequality
g_{i}′(t)≤-H(g_{i}(t)), (i=1,2) for all t≥0, with H convex.
