Global Existence and Energy Decay Rates for a Kirchhoff-Type Wave Equation with Nonlinear Dissipation

The first objective of this paper is to prove the existence and uniqueness of global solutions for a Kirchhoff-type wave equation with nonlinear dissipation of the form under suitable assumptions on . Next, we derive decay estimates of the energy under some growth conditions on the nonlinear dissip...
