Ka. Ames et Le. Payne, CONTINUOUS DEPENDENCE RESULTS FOR AN ILL-POSED PROBLEM IN NONLINEAR VISCOELASTICITY, Zeitschrift fur angewandte Mathematik und Physik, 48(1), 1997, pp. 20-29
Holder continuous dependence on the initial data is established for a
backward in time problem in nonlinear viscoelasticity. Both the one di
mensional momentum equation and its multidimensional counterpart are s
tudied. Since the initial-boundary value problem for each equation bac
kward in time is ill-posed, a logarithmic convexity argument is employ
ed to obtain these stability results.
