Abstract

In this paper we study the existence of solutions of the following nonlinear hyperbolic svstem|u+A(t)u+b(x)G(u)=finQu=0onΣu(0)=uοu1(0)=u1where Q is a noncylindrical domain of n+1 with lateral boundary Σ, u(u1,u2) a vector defined on Q, {A(t),0t+} is a family of operators in (Hο1(Ω),H1(Ω)), where A(t)u=(A(t)u1,A(t)u2) and G:22 a continuous function such that x.G(x)0, for x2.

Moreover, we obtain that the solutions of the above system with dissipative term u have exponential decay.
