Global existence, asymptotic behavior and uniform attractor for a non-autonomous Timoshenko system of type III with weak damping

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate one-dimensional thermoelastic system of Timoshenko type III with double memory dampings. At first we give the global existence of solutions by using semigroup theory. Then we can prove the energy decay of solutions by constructing a series of Lyapunov functionals and obtain the existence of absorbing ball. Finally, we prove the asymptotic compactness by using uniform contractive functions and obtain the existence of uniform attractor.
