Abstract

Linear Volterra integrodifferential equations of hyperbolic type from the electromagnetic theory of dielectrics, heat conduction theory of materials with memory and from viscoelasticity theory are examined. For a particular class of kernels solutions of initial value problems for these equations can all be split into a part propagating outwards and a part whose support remains within the support of the forcing term. The speed of the outward propagating part of each equation is exhibited.
