Abstract
In this paper we consider an n-dimensional thermoelastic system with viscoelastic damping. We establish an explicit and general decay rate result without imposing restrictive assumptions on the behavior of the relaxation function at infinity. Our result allows a larger class of relaxation functions and generalizes previous results existing in the literature.
