摘要

This paper is devoted to the study of the sharp decay estimates of solutions for quasi-linear hyperbolic systems of viscoelasticity in the whole space. We develop the time-weighted energy method for our system, which can yield the decay estimate of solutions for small initial data in L-2, provided that n %26gt;= 2. Also, we discuss the fundamental solutions to the linearized system and study the decay properties for the corresponding solution operators. Then, by employing the same time-weighted energy method together with the semigroup argument, we show the optimal decay estimate of solutions for small initial data in L-2 boolean AND L-1 and for all n %26gt;= 1.
