Exponential stability for the wave equations with local Kelvin–Voigt damping

Abstract.We consider the wave equations with local viscoelastic damping distributed around the boundary of a bounded open set $$\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N} .$$ We show that the energy of the wave equations goes uniformly and exponentially to zero for all initial data of finite energy.
