Synopsis

Some continuous dependence theorems are presented for classical solutions of initial-boundary value problems in viscoelastic materials which occupy the exterior of a bounded domain in Euclidean three space. Two broad classes of anisotropic viscoelastic materials are considered. The theorems are proved by a combination of the Protter and the Graffi methods.
