We establish some new results concerning the exponential decay and the polynomial decay of the energy associated with a linear Volterra integro-differential equation of hyperbolic type in a Hilbert space, which is an abstract version of the equation [Formula: see text] describing the motion of linearly viscoelastic solids. We provide sufficient conditions for the decay to hold, without invoking differential inequalities involving the convolution kernel μ.
