Abstract

Motivated by the recent known results as regards the existence and exponential decay of solutions for wave equations, this paper is devoted to the study of an N-dimensional nonlinear wave equation with a nonlocal boundary condition. We first state two local existence theorems. Next, we give a sufficient condition to guarantee the global existence and exponential decay of weak solutions. The main tools are the Faedo-Galerkin method and the Lyapunov method.

Highlights

  • In [ ], Munoz-Rivera and Andrade dealt with the global existence and exponential decay of solutions of the nonlinear one-dimensional wave equation with a viscoelastic boundary condition

  • With less regular initial data, we obtain the following theorem as regards the existence of a weak solution

  • Under the assumptions of Theorem . , using the Faedo-Galerkin approximation and Lemmas . - . , we find the approximate solution of problem ( . )-( . ) in the form m um(t) = cmj(t)wj, j=
