In this article we consider an n-dimensional system of visco-thermoelasticity with second sound, where a viscoelastic dissipation is acting on a part of the boundary. We prove an explicit general decay rate result without imposing u0 = 0 as in [17]. This allows a larger class of relaxation functions and initial data, hence, generalizes some previous results existing in the literature. 1. Introduction The Classical Fourier law of heat conduction expresses that the heat flux within a medium is proportional to the local temperature gradient in the system. A well known consequence of this law is that heat perturbations propagates with an infinite speed. Experiments showed that heat conduction in some dielectric crystals at low temperatures is free of this paradox and disturbances, which are almost entirely thermal, propagate in a finite speed. This phenomenon in dielectric crystals is called second sound (see [6]). To overcome this physical paradox, Maxwell [7], Cattaneo [3] adopted a non-classical heat flux Maxwell-Cattaneo law to get rid of this unphysical results. This Maxwell-Cattaneo relation contains an extra inertial term with respect to the Fourier law τ0 qt + q + κ∇θ = 0, where q = q(x, t) ∈ Rn is the heat flux vector, τ0 is the relaxation time and κ is the heat conductivity. The conservation of energy equation introduces the hyperbolic equation, which describes heat propagation with finite speed. Result concerning existence, blow up, and asymptotic behavior of smooth, as well as weak solutions in thermoelasticity with second sound have been established over the past two decades by many mathematicians. Tarabek [20] treated problems related to utt − a(ux , θ, q)uxx + b(ux , θ, q)θx = α1 (ux , θ)qqx θt + g(ux , θ, q)qx + d(ux , θ, q)utx = α2 (ux , θ)qqt τ (ux , θ)qt + q + k(ux , θ)θx = 0, 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35B37, 35L55, 74D05, 93D15, 93D20.

DRABLA EJDE-2014/202 in both bounded and unbounded situations and established global existence results for small initial data. He also showed that these “ classical” solutions tend to equilibrium as t tends to infinity; however, no rate of decay has been discussed. In his work, Tarabek used the usual energy argument and exploited some relations from the second law of thermodynamics to overcome the difficulty arising from the lack of Poincaré’s inequality in the unbounded domains. Racke [18] discussed (1.1) and established exponential decay results for several linear and nonlinear initial boundary value problems. In particular he studied (1.1), with α1 = α2 = 0, and for a rigidly clamped medium with temperature hold constant on the boundary. i.e u(t, 0) = u(t, 1) = 0, θ(t, 0) = θ(t, 1) = θ̄, t ≥ 0, and showed that, for small enough initial data and classical solutions decay exponentially to the equilibrium state. Messaoudi and Said-Houari [9] extended the decay result of [18] to the case when α1 6= 0, α2 6= 0. For the multi-dimensional case (n = 2, 3), Racke [19] established an existence result for the following n-dimensional problem utt − µ∆u − (µ + λ)∇(div u) + β∇θ = 0 θt + γ div q + δ div ut = 0 ut (., 0) = u1 , u=θ=0 in Ω × (0, +∞) in Ω × (0, +∞) τ qt + q + κ∇θ = 0 u(., 0) = u0 , in Ω × (0, +∞) θ(., 0) = θ0 , q(., 0) = q0 (1.2) in Ω on Γ × [0, +∞), where Ω is a bounded domain of Rn , with a smooth boundary Γ, u = u(x, t), q = q(x, t) ∈ Rn , and µ, λ, β, γ, δ, τ, κ, are positive constants, where µ, λ are Lame moduli and τ is the relaxation time, a small parameter compared to the others. In particular if τ = 0, (1.2) reduces to the system of classical thermoelasticity, in which the heat flux is given by Fourier’s law instead of Cattaneo’s law. He also proved, under the conditions rotu = rotq = 0, an exponential decay result for (1.2). This result applies automatically to the radially symmetric solution, since it is only a special case. Messaoudi [8] considered (1.2), in the presence of a source term, and proved a blow up result for solutions with negative initial energy. This result was extended later to certain solutions with positive energy by Messaoudi and Said-Houari [10]. In this article, we are concerned with the system utt − µ∆u − (µ + λ)∇(div u) + β∇θ = 0 cθt + κ div q + β div ut = 0 τ0 qt + q + κ∇θ = 0 u(., 0) = u0 , ut (., 0) = u1 , u=0 Z u(x, t) = − t in Ω × (0, +∞) in Ω × (0, +∞) in Ω × (0, +∞) θ(., 0) = θ0 , q(., 0) = q0 in Ω on Γ0 × [0, +∞) (1.3) ∂u + (µ + λ)(div u)ν)(s)ds on Γ1 × [0, +∞) ∂ν θ = 0 on Γ × [0, +∞), g(t − s)(µ 0 which models the transverse vibration of a thin elastic body, taking in account the heat conduction given by Cattaneo’s law. Here, Ω is a bounded domain of Rn (n ≥ 2) with a smooth boundary Γ, such that {Γ0 , Γ1 } is a partition of Γ, ν is the EJDE-2014/202 BOUNDARY STABILIZATION 3 outward normal to Γ, u = u(x, t) ∈ Rn is the displacement vector, q = q(x, t) ∈ Rn is the heat flux vector, θ = θ(x, t) is the difference temperature and the relaxation function g is a positive differentiable function. The coefficients c, κ, β, µ, λ, τ0 are positive constants, where µ, λ are Lame moduli and τ0 is the relaxation time, a small parameter compared to the others. The boundary condition on Γ1 is the nonlocal boundary condition responsible for the memory effect. Messaoudi and Al-Shehri treated system (1.3) of thermoelasticity with second sound in [13] subject to boundary condition of memory type. If k is the resolvent kernel of −g 0 /g(0), they showed in [12] that the energy decays at the same rate as of (−k 0 ), while in [13], when (−k 0 ) decays exponentially, the energy decays at a polynomial rate. Recently, Mustafa [17] treated system (1.3) for k satisfying k(0) > 0, lim k(t) = 0, t→∞ 00 0 k (t) ≥ H(−k (t)), k 0 (t) ≤ 0, ∀t > 0, (1.4) (1.5) where H is a positive function, which is linear or strictly increasing, strictly convex of class C 2 on (0, r], r < 1, and H(0) = 0 and proved for u0 = 0 on Γ1 , an explicit energy decay formula which is not necessarily of exponential or polynomial-type decay. Our aim in this work is to investigate (1.3) for resolvent kernels satisfying (1.4) and (1.5), when u0 6= 0 on Γ1 is taken into account. The proof is based on the multiplier method and makes use of some estimates of [17] with the necessary modification needed to obtain our result. The paper is organized as follows. In section 2, we present some notations and material needed for our work. In section 3, we establish some technical lemmas and state our main theorem, while the proof of our main result will be given in section 4. 2. Notation and transformation In this section we introduce some notation and prove some lemmas. To establish our result, we shall make the following assumption: (A1) The partition Γ0 and Γ1 are closed, disjoint, with meas(Γ0 ) > 0 and satisfying Γ1 = {x ∈ Γ : m(x).ν ≥ δ > 0}, Γ0 = {x ∈ Γ : m(x).ν ≤ 0}, where m(x) = x − x0 , for some x0 ∈ Rn . Similarly to [11, 12, 14], applying Volterra’s inverse operator, the boundary condition Z t ∂u + (µ + λ)(div u)ν (s)ds, on Γ1 × [0, +∞), (2.1) u(x, t) = − g(t − s) µ ∂ν 0 can be transformed into µ ∂u 1 + (µ + λ)(div u)ν = − (ut + k ∗ ut ), ∂ν g(0) on Γ1 × [0, +∞), where * denotes the convolution product Z t (ϕ ∗ ψ)(t) = ϕ(t − s)ψ(s) ds, 0 4 F. BOULANOUAR, S. DRABLA EJDE-2014/202 and k is the resolvent kernel of (−g 0 /g(0)) which satisfies 1 1 0 k+ (g 0 ∗ k) = − g. g(0) g(0) Taking η = 1/g(0), we arrive at ∂u + (µ + λ)(div u)ν = −η(ut + k(0)u − k(t)u0 + k 0 ∗ u), on Γ1 × [0, +∞). (2.2) ∂ν Then, we will use the boundary relation (2.2) instead of the fourth equation in (1.3). Let us define Z t ϕ(t − s)|ψ(t) − ψ(s)|2 ds, (ϕ ◦ ψ)(t) = 0 Z t (ϕ♦ψ)(t) = ϕ(t − s)(ψ(t) − ψ(s))ds. µ 0 By using Hôlder’s inequality, we have Z t 2 |(ϕ♦ψ)(t)| ≤ |ϕ(s)|ds (|ϕ| ◦ ψ)(t). (2.3) 0 Lemma 2.1 ([15]). If ϕ, ψ ∈ C 1 (R+ ), then 1 1 1 d (ϕ ∗ ψ)ψt = − ϕ(t)|ψ(t)|2 + ϕ0 ◦ ψ − ϕ◦ψ− 2 2 2 dt Z t ϕ(s)ds |ψ(t)|2 . (2.4) 0 Let us define V = {v ∈ (H 1 (Ω)) : v = 0 on Γ0 }. The well-posedness of system (1.3) is presented in the following theorem, which can be proved, using the Galerkin method as in [1, 4] and the reference therein. Theorem 2.2. Let k ∈ W 2,1 (R+ ) ∩ W 1,∞ (R+ ), u0 ∈ ((H 2 (Ω)) ∩ V )n , θ0 ∈ H01 (Ω), q0 ∈ (H 1 (Ω))n , and u1 ∈ V n , with ∂u0 + ηu0 = 0 on Γ1 . ∂ν Then there exists a unique strong solution u of system (1.3), such that (2.5) u ∈ C(R+ ; (H 2 (Ω) ∩ V )n ) ∩ C 1 (R+ ; V n ), θ ∈ C(R+ ; H01 (Ω)) ∩ C 1 (R+ ; L2 (Ω)), q ∈ C(R+ ; (H 1 (Ω))n ) ∩ C 1 (R+ ; (L2 (Ω))n ). 3. Decay of solutions In this section we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of system (1.3) when the resolvent kernel k satisfies the assumption (B1) k : R+ → R+ is a C 2 function such that k(0) > 0, lim k(t) = 0, t→∞ k 0 (t) ≤ 0, and there exists a positive function H ∈ C 1 (R+ ), with H(0) = 0, and H is linear or strictly increasing and strictly convex C 2 function on (0, r], r < 1, such that k 00 (t) ≥ H(−k 0 (t)), ∀t > 0. EJDE-2014/202 BOUNDARY STABILIZATION 5 It is a routine procedure to define the first-order energy of system (1.3) by (see Lemma 3.2 below). Z 2 1 E1 (t) = |ut | + µ|∇u|2 + (µ + λ)(div u)2 + cθ2 + τ0 q 2 dx 2 Ω Z Z (3.1) η η (k 0 ◦ u)(t)dΓ1 + k(t)|u|2 dΓ1 . − 2 Γ1 2 Γ1 Now, we differentiate (1.3), with respect to t, to obtain uttt − µ∆ut − (µ + λ)∇(div ut ) + β∇θt = 0 cθtt + κ div qt + β div utt = 0 τ0 qtt + qt + κ∇θt = 0 in Ω × (0, +∞) in Ω × (0, +∞) (3.2) in Ω × (0, +∞) and the boundary condition (2.2) to obtain µ ∂ut + (µ + λ)(div ut )ν = −η(utt + k(0)ut + k 0 ∗ ut ), ∂ν on Γ1 × R+ . (3.3) Consequently, similar computations yield the second-order energy of system (1.3): Z 1 |utt |2 + µ|∇ut |2 + (µ + λ)(div ut )2 + cθt2 + τ0 qt2 dx E2 (t) = 2 Ω Z Z η η − (k 0 ◦ ut )(t)dΓ1 + k(t)|ut |2 dΓ1 . 2 Γ1 2 Γ1 Theorem 3.1. Given (u0 , u1 , θ0 , q0 ) ∈ (H 2 (Ω) ∩ V )n × V n × H01 (Ω) × (H 1 (Ω))n , we assume that (A1) and (B1) hold. Then there exist positive constants c1 , c2 , k1 , k2 , k3 , ε0 and t1 such that: (I) In the special case H(t) = ctp , where 1 ≤ p < 3/2, the solution of (1.3) satisfies R R Z 1 c1 + c2 t [k(s) Z ∞ |u0 |2 dΓ1 ]2p−1 ds 2p−1 η t1 Γ1 E1 (t) ≤ |u0 |2 dΓ1 − k 2 (s)ds t 2 Γ1 t (3.4) for all t ≥ t1 . (II) In the general case, the solution of (1.3) satisfies R Rt k2 + k3 ( |u0 |2 dΓ1 ) t1 H0 (k(s))ds Γ1 −1 E1 (t) ≤ k1 H1 t (3.5) Z Z ∞ η 2 2 − |u0 | dΓ1 k (s)ds for all t ≥ t1 , 2 Γ1 t where H1 (t) = tH00 (ε0 t), H0 (t) = H(D(t)), provided that D is a positive C 1 function, with D(0) = 0, for which H0 is strictly increasing and strictly convex C 2 function on (0, r] and Z +∞ −k 0 (s) ds < +∞.

If 0 H0 (k(s))ds < +∞, then (3.5) reduces to Z Z ∞ c η E1 (t) ≤ k1 H1−1 ( ) − |u0 |2 dΓ1 k 2 (s)ds, t 2 Γ1 t which clearly shows that limt→∞ E1 (t) = 0, in this case. 3. The usual decay rate estimate, already proved for k satisfying k 00 ≥ d(−k 0 )p , 1 ≤ p < 3/2, is a special case of our result. We will provide a “simpler” proof for this special case. 4. The condition k 00 ≥ d(−k 0 )p , 1 ≤ p < 3/2 assumes −k 0 (t) ≤ ωe−dt when p = 1 1 and −k 0 (t) ≤ ω/t p−1 when 1 < p < 3/2. Our result allows resolvent kernels whose derivatives are not necessarily of exponential or polynomial decay. For instance, if √ k 0 (t) = − exp(− t), then k 00 (t) = H(−k 0 (t)) where, for t ∈ (0, r], r < 1, H(t) = t . 2 ln(1/t) Since H 0 (t) = 1 + ln(1/t) 2[ln(1/t)]2 and H 00 (t) = ln(1/t) + 2 , 2t[ln(1/t)]3 the function H satisfies hypothesis (B1) on the interval (0, r] for any 0 < r < 1. Also, by taking D(t) = tα , (3.6) is satisfied for any α > 1. Therefore, an explicit rate of decay can be obtained by Theorem 3.1. The function H0 (t) = H(tα ) has derivative αtα−1 [1 + ln(1/tα )] H00 (t) = . 2[ln(1/tα )]2 Then, we do some direct calculations and use (3.5) to deduce that Rt R k2 + k3 |u0 |2 dΓ1 t1 H0 (k(s))ds 1/(2α) Γ1 E1 (t) ≤ k1 t Z Z ∞ η − |u0 |2 dΓ1 k 2 (s)ds, ∀t ≥ t1 , 2 Γ1 t for any α > 1, where H0 (k(s)) = decays at the following rate E1 (t) ≤ k1 k2 + k3 ( η − 2 If R∞ 0 (k(s))α 2 ln(1/(k(s))α ) . R Γ1 |u0 |2 dΓ1 ) t Z 2 |u0 | dΓ1 Γ1 Therefore, taking α → 1, the energy Z Rt t1 H(k(s))ds 1/2 (3.7) ∞ 2 k (s)ds, ∀t ≥ t1 . t H(k(s))ds < +∞, then equation (3.7) reduces to Z Z ∞ C η 2 E1 (t) ≤ 1 − |u0 | dΓ1 k 2 (s)ds, 2 Γ1 t2 t ∀t ≥ t1 . 5. The well-known Jensen’s inequality will be of essential use in establishing our main result. If F is a convex function on [a, b], f : Ω → [a, b] and h are integrable EJDE-2014/202 BOUNDARY STABILIZATION 7 R functions on Ω, h(x) ≥ 0, and Ω h(x)dx = k > 0, then Jensen’s inequality states that h1 Z i 1Z F f (x)h(x)dx ≤ F [f (x)]h(x)dx. k Ω k Ω 6. As in [17] and since limt→∞ k(t) = 0, limt→+∞ (−k 0 (t)) cannot be equal to a positive number, and so it is natural to assume that limt→+∞ (−k 0 (t)) = 0, in the same way, we deduce that limt→+∞ k 00 (t) = 0. Hence there is t1 > 0 large enough such that k 0 (t1 ) < 0 and max{k(t), −k 0 (t), k 00 (t)} < min{r, H(r), H0 (r)}, ∀t ≥ t1 . (3.8) As k 0 is nondecreasing, k 0 (0) < 0 and k 0 (t1 ) < 0, then k 0 (t) < 0 for any t ∈ [0, t1 ] and 0 < −k 0 (t1 ) ≤ −k 0 (t) ≤ −k 0 (0), ∀t ∈ [0, t1 ]. Therefore, since H is a positive continuous function, we have a ≤ H(−k 0 (t)) ≤ b, ∀t ∈ [0, t1 ], for some positive constants a and b. Consequently, for all t ∈ [0, t1 ], a a k 00 (t) ≥ H(−k 0 (t)) ≥ a = 0 k 0 (0) ≥ 0 k 0 (t) k (0) k (0) which gives k 00 (t) ≥ d(−k 0 (t)), ∀t ∈ [0, t1 ], (3.9) for some positive constant d.

(3.11) Ω Proof. Multiplying (1.3)1 by ut , (1.3)2 by θ, and (1.3)3 by q and integrating over Ω, using integration by parts, the boundary conditions (2.2) and (2.4), one can easily find that Z Z Z η E10 (t) = − |q|2 dx − η |ut |2 dΓ1 + k 0 (t) |u|2 dΓ1 2 Ω Γ1 Γ1 Z Z η 00 − (k ◦ u)(t)dΓ1 + η k(t)(u0 .ut )dΓ1 2 Γ1 Γ1 Young’s inequality then yields Z Z Z 1 1 k(t)(u0 .ut )dΓ1 ≤ |ut |2 dΓ1 + k 2 (t) |u0 |2 dΓ1 , 2 Γ1 2 Γ1 Γ1 and consequently, we obtain (3.10) for strong solutions. Estimate (3.11) is established in a similar way using (3.2) and (3.3). 8 F. BOULANOUAR, S. DRABLA EJDE-2014/202 Remark 3.3. If u0 = 0 on Γ1 , then E10 (t) ≤ 0, hence E1 (t) ≤ E1 (0).
