Semi-linear wave equations with effective damping (Q354165)

In this paper the following system of nonlinear wave equations is investigated \[ \begin{cases} u_{tt}-\Delta u+g_1(u_t)=f_1(u, v)\quad {\text{ in}}\quad \Omega\times (0, T),\\ v_{tt}-\Delta v+g_2(v_t)=f_2(u, v)\quad {\text{ in}}\quad \Omega\times (0, T),\\ \partial_{\nu}u+u+g(u_t)=h(u)\quad {\text{ on}}\quad \Gamma\times (0, T), \\ v=0\quad {\text{ on}} \quad \Gamma\times (0, T), \\ u(0)=u_0\in H^1(\Omega), u_t(0)=u_1\in L^2(\Omega),\\ v(0)=v_0\in H_0^1(\Omega), v_t(0)=v_1\in L^2(\Omega), \end{cases} \tag{1} \] where the nonlinearities \(f_1\), \(f_2\), \(h\) represent interior and boundary sources; \(g_1\), \(g_2\), \(g\) act as interior and boundary damping, \(\Omega\) is bounded, open and connected non-empty set in \(\mathbb R^3\) with a smooth boundary \(\Gamma=\partial\Omega\). The authors give conditions for \(f_1\), \(f_2\), \(g\), \(h\), \(u_0\), \(u_1\), \(v_0\) and \(v_1\) so that every weak solution \((u, v)\) of the problem (1) blows up in finite time.
