Abstract
In this paper, a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear boundary damping and source terms of the form
is considered in a bounded domain Ω. Under appropriate assumptions imposed on the source and the damping, we establish both existence of solutions and uniform decay rate of the solution energy in terms of the behavior of the nonlinear feedback and the relaxation function g, without setting any restrictive growth assumptions on the damping at the origin and weakening the usual assumptions on the relaxation function g. Moreover, for certain initial data in the unstable set, the finite time blow-up phenomenon is exhibited.
