Wave equations with memory: The minimal state approach

Recently, in M. Conti et al. (2010) [6], and M. Fabrizio et al. (2010) [12], a new theoretical scheme has been developed in order to study equations with memory, the so-called minimal state approach. The aim of this work is to provide the technical body needed to study the asymptotic behavior of semilinear integro-differential equations of hyperbolic type in the novel framework.
