In this paper, we consider coupled wave–wave, Petrovsky–Petrovsky and wave–Petrovsky systems in N-dimensional open bounded domain with complementary frictional damping and infinite memory acting on the first equation. We prove that these systems are well-posed in the sense of semigroups theory and provide a weak stability estimate of solutions, where the decay rate is given in terms of the general growth of the convolution kernel at infinity and the arbitrary regularity of the initial data. We finish our paper by considering the uncoupled wave and Petrovsky equations with complementary frictional damping and infinite memory, and showing a strong stability estimate depending only on the general growth of the convolution kernel at infinity.
