Abstract: We are studying possible interaction of damping coefficients in the subprincipal part of the linear 3D wave equation and their impact on the critical exponent of the corresponding nonlinear Cauchy problem with small initial data. The main new phenomena is that certain relation between these coefficients may cause very strong jump of the critical Strauss exponent in 3D to the critical 5D Strauss exponent for the wave equation without damping coefficients.

Review text

The considered Cauchy problem for the nonlinear damped wave equation is reduced to the following form: \[\begin{aligned}(\partial _t^2+ 2 \omega(r)\partial_t - \partial_r^2+ V(r))u =|u|^p/r^{p-1},\quad\text{for } t>0, \\ u(0,r)=\epsilon r f_0(r),\ (\partial_tu)(0,r) = \epsilon rf_1(r),\ u(t,0)=0.\end{aligned}\] The aim of this paper is to investigate if the interaction between the damping term and nonlinear source term can produce a shift of the Strauss exponent. This interaction is defined as \(V( r ) = -\omega^\prime( r ) + \omega( r )^2\). One proves that if the parameter \(p>1\) is less then a certain upper bound denoted \(p_0(5)\), the classical solution blows up in a finite time, and one shows bounds for the lifespan. For values of \(p>p_0(5)\), the existence result of a global solution is presented.
