In this paper we consider the following strongly damped wave equation with variable-exponent nonlinearity u_tt(x, t) - ∆u(x, t) - ∆u_t(x, t) = |u(x, t)|^p(x)-2u(x, t), where the exponent p(·) of nonlinearity is a given measurable function. We establish finite time blow-up results for the solutions with non-positive initial energy and for certain solutions with positive initial energy. We extend the previous results for strongly damped wave equations with constant exponent nonlinearity to the equations with variable-exponent nonlinearity.

We consider the following strongly damped wave equation on ℝ³ with memory u_tt - αΔu_t - βΔu + λu - ∫₀^∞ κ'(s)∆u(t - s)ds + f(x, u) + g(x, u_t) = h, where a quite general memory kernel and the nonlinearity f exhibit a critical growth. Existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence results are provided as well as the existence of regular global and exponential attractors of finite fractal dimension.
