Estimates of lifespan and blow-up rates for the wave equation with a time-dependent damping and a power-type nonlinearity (1609.01035v2)
Published 5 Sep 2016 in math.AP
Abstract: We study blow-up behavior of solutions for the Cauchy problem of the semilinear wave equation with time-dependent damping. When the damping is effective, and the nonlinearity is subcritical, we show the blow-up rates and the sharp lifespan estimates of solutions. Upper estimates are proved by an ODE argument, and lower estimates are given by a method of scaling variables.
