We prove the local existence of a weak solution via a modified lemma of contraction of the Banach fixed-point theorem. Although the uniqueness of a weak solution is still an open problem, we proved uniqueness locally for specifically suitable exponents. Furthermore, we established a result for local existence without guaranteeing uniqueness, stating a contraction lemma.", keywords = "viscoelastic equation, dispersive term, logarithmic nonlinearity, local existence", issn = "1232-9274" }
