A Nonlinear Hyperbolic Volterra Equation Arising in Heat Flow.
Abstract
A mathematical model for nonlinear heat flow in a rigid body of material with memory leads to the integrodifferential equation problem which is analyzed by an energy method developed jointly with C. M. Dafermos. Global existence, uniqueness, boundedness and the decay of smooth solutions as t approaches infinity are established for sufficiently smooth and small data, under physically reasonable assumptions.
