Abstract
We consider a nonlinear heat equation with a viscoelastic term and Robin conditions. First, we prove existence and uniqueness of a weak solution. Next, we prove that any weak solution with negative initial energy will blow up in finite time. Finally, we give a sufficient condition for the global existence and exponential decay of weak solutions. The main tools are the Faedo–Galerkin method and defining a modified energy functional together with the technique of Lyapunov functional.
