Abstract:This article is devoted to a study of the question of existence (in time) of weak solutions and the derivation of qualitative properties of such solutions for the nonlinear viscoelastic wave equation with variable exponents and minor damping terms. By using the energy method combined with the Faedo–Galerkin method, the local and global existence of solutions are established. Then, the stability estimate of the solution is obtained by introducing a suitable Lyapunov function.
