Mustafa %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2012 %I Texas State University %X In this article, we consider a thermoelastic system of type III with a viscoelastic damping and internal delay. We use the multiplier method to prove, under suitable assumptions, general energy decay results from which the exponential and polynomial types of decay are only special cases. %K Damping %K delay %K relaxation function %K thermoelasticity %K viscoelasticity %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2012/128/abstr.html
