We prove that under suitable assumptions on the functions g - f i 1 2 and certain initial data in the stable set the decay rate of the solution energy is exponential. Conversely for certain initial data in the unstable set there are solutions with positive initial energy that blow up in finite time. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classifications 35L05 35L55 35L70.

Introduction In this article we study the following system of viscoelastic equations utt Au 0tg1 t T Au t dT Aut f1 u v x t e Q X 0 T Vtt Av J0g2 t T Av t dT Avt f2 u v x t e a X 0 T u x t v x t 0 x e do.

Here u and v denote the transverse displacements of waves. This problem arises in the theory of viscoelastic and describes the interaction of two scalar fields we can refer to Cavalcanti et al. 1 Messaoudi and Tatar 2 Renardy et al. 3 . To motivate this study let us recall some results regarding single .
