Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in a viscoelastic Moore–Gibson–Thompson equation with a type-II memory term and a relaxation function satisfying \(g^{\prime }(t)\le -\eta (t)g(t)\). By constructing appropriate Lyapunov functionals in the Fourier space, we establish a general decay estimate of the solution under the condition \(\left( \beta -\frac{\gamma }{\alpha }-\frac{\varrho }{2}\right) >0.\) We then give the decay rate of the L\(^{2}\)-norm of the solution. We also give two examples to illustrate our theoretical results.
