%0 Journal Article %T Global attractors for nonlinear viscoelastic equations with memory %A Monica Conti %A Elsa M. Marchini %A Vittorino Pata %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X We study the asymptotic properties of the semigroup S(t) arising from a nonlinear viscoelastic equation with hereditary memory on a bounded three-dimensional domain written in the past history framework of Dafermos. We establish the existence of the global attractor of optimal regularity for S(t) for a wide class of nonlinearities as well as within the most general condition on the memory kernel. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1309.4595v1
