Global existence for a fractionally damped nonlinear Jordan--Moore--Gibson--Thompson equation
Abstract
In nonlinear acoustics, higher-order-in-time equations arise when taking into account a class of thermal relaxation laws in the modeling of sound wave propagation. In the literature, these families of equations came to be known as Jordan--Moore--Gibson--Thompson (JMGT) models. In this work, we show the global existence of solutions relying only on minimal assumptions on the nonlocal damping kernel. In particular, our result covers the until-now open question of global existence of solutions for the fractionally damped JMGT model with quadratic gradient nonlinearity. The factional damping setting forces us to work with non-integrable kernels, which require a tailored approach in the analysis to control. This approach relies on exploiting the specific nonlinearity structure combined with a weak damping provided by the nonlocality kernel.
