In this paper, we consider a coupled system of two biharmonic equations with damping and source terms of variable-exponent nonlinearities, supplemented with initial and mixed boundary conditions. We establish an existence and uniqueness result of a weak solution, under suitable assumptions on the variable exponents. Then, we show that solutions with negative-initial energy blow up in finite time. To illustrate our theoritical findings, we present two numerical examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a coupled system of Laplacian and bi-Laplacian equations with nonlinear dampings and source terms of variable-exponents nonlinearities. This system is supplemented with initial and mixed boundary conditions. First, we establish the existence and uniqueness results of a weak solution, under suitable assumptions on the variable exponents. Second, we show that the solutions with positive-initial energy blow-up in a finite time. Finally, we establish the global existence as well as the energy decay results of the solutions, using the stable-set and the multiplier methods, under appropriate conditions on the variable exponents and the initial data.

In this paper, we consider a nonlinear beam equation with a strong damping and the p(x)-biharmonic operator. The exponent p(∙) of nonlinearity is a given function satisfying some condition to be specified. Applying Faedo-Galerkin's method, the existence of weak solutions is proved. Using Nakao's lemma, the asymptotic behavior of weak solutions is established with mild assumptions on the variable exponent p(∙). We show the asymptotic behavior of the weak solution is exponentially and algebraically depending on the variable exponent. This work improves and extends many other results in the literature.

In this paper, we consider the following viscoelastic problem with variable exponent nonlinearities: utt−Δu+∫0tg(t−s)Δu(s)ds+a|ut|m(·)−2ut=|u|q(·)−2u,where m(.) and q(.) are two functions satisfying specific conditions. This type of problems appears in fluid dynamics, the electrorheological fluids (smart fluids), which show changing (often dramatically) in the viscosity when an electrical field is applied. The Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with variable exponents are efficient tools to analyze such problems. In this work, we prove a global existence result using the well‐depth method and establish explicit and general decay results under a very general assumption on the relaxation function. Our results extend and generalize many results in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Problems with variable exponents have attracted a great deal of attention lately and various existence, nonexistence and stability results have been established. The importance of such problems has manifested due to the recent advancement of science and technology and to the wide application in areas such as electrorheological fluids (smart fluids) which have the property that the viscosity changes drastically when exposed to heat or electrical fields. To tackle and understand these models, new sophisticated mathematical functional spaces have been introduced, such as the Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with variable exponents. In this work, we are concerned with a system of wave equations with variable-exponent nonlinearities. This system can be regarded as a model for interaction between two fields describing the motion of two "smart" materials. We, first, establish the existence of global solutions then show that solutions of enough regularities stabilize to the rest state (0 , 0) either exponentially or polynomially depending on the range of the variable exponents. We also present some numerical tests to illustrate our theoretical findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study the following wave equation u tt - Δ u + α (t) u t m (·) - 2 u t = 0 with a nonlinear damping having a variable exponent m(x) and a time-dependent coefficient α (t) . We use the multiplier method to establish energy decay results depending on both m and α . We also give four numerical tests to illustrate our theoretical results using the conservative Lax–Wendroff method scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
