Global existence and decay of energy to systems of wave equations with damping and supercritical sources (Q2375796)

The paper deals with the initial boundary value problem to the system \[ \begin{cases} u_{tt}-\Delta u+g_1(u_t)=f_1(u,v),\\ v_{tt}-\Delta v+g_2(v_t)=f_2(u,v) \end{cases} \] in \(\Omega \times (0,\infty )\) with boundary conditions \(\partial _{\nu }u+u+g(u_t)=h(u),\) \(v=0\) on \(\partial \Omega \times (0,\infty ).\) Under some restrictions on the parameters of the problem a global existence of a unique weak solution and exponential uniform decay rate of of its energy are proved. Moreover, a blow-up result for weak solutions with nonnegative initial energy is established. The authors use the results from their papers [``Systems of nonlinear wave equations with damping and supercritical boundary and interior sources''. Trans. Am. Math. Soc., (in press)] and [Appl. Anal. 92, No. 6, 1101--1115 (2013; Zbl 1278.35151)].
