In this paper, we consider the Robin-Dirichlet problem for a system of nonlinear pseudoparabolic equations with viscoelastic term. By the Faedo-Galerkin method, we first prove the existence and uniqueness of solution for the problem. Next, we give a sufficient condition to get the global existence and decay of the weak solution. Finally, by the concavity method, we prove the blow-up result of the solution when the initial energy is negative. Furthermore, we establish here the lifespan of the solution by finding the upper bound and the lower bound for the blow-up time.

In this paper, the Neumann-Dirichlet boundary problem for a system of nonlinear viscoelastic equations of Kirchhoff type with Balakrishnan-Taylor term is considered. At first, a local existence is established by the linear approximation together with the Faedo- Galerkin method. Then, by establishing several reasonable conditions and suitable energy inequalities, the solution of the problem admits a general decay in time.
