Abstract

We consider an integrodifferential equation equation arising in the theory of viscoelasticity. Here, the main feature is that the memory kernel h_t(·) depends on time, allowing for instance to describe the dynamics of aging materials. From the mathematical viewpoint, this translates into the study of dynamical systems acting on time-dependent spaces, according to the newly established theory of Di Plinio et al. In this first work, we give a proper notion of solution, and we provide a global well-posedness result. The techniques naturally extend to the analysis of the longterm behavior of the associated process, and can be exported to cover the case of general systems with memory in presence of time-dependent kernels.
