A New General Decay Rate of Wave Equation with Memory-Type Boundary Control

Of interest is a wave equation with memory-type boundary oscillations, in which the forced oscillations of the rod is given by a memory term at the boundary. We establish a new general decay rate to the system. And it possesses the character of damped oscillations and tends to a finite value for a large time. By assuming the resolvent kernel that is more general than those in previous papers, we establish a more general energy decay result. Hence the result improves earlier results in the literature.
