Abstract

This paper aims to study the model of a nonlinear viscoelastic wave equation with damping and source terms involving variable-exponent nonlinearities. First, we prove that the energy grows exponentially, and thus in 𝐿p2 and 𝐿p1 norms. For the case 2 ≤ 𝑘(. ) < 𝑝(. ), we reach the exponential growth result of a blowup in finite time with positive initial energy and get the upper bound for the blow-up time. For the case 𝑘(. ) = 2, we use the concavity method to show a finite time blow-up result and get the upper bound for the blow-up time. Furthermore, for the case 𝑘(. ) ≥ 2, under some conditions on the data, we give a lower bound for the blow-up time when the blow-up occurs.
