Global existence of solutions to a wave equation with damping and source terms (Q1848338)

This paper deals with the following mixed problem: \[ \begin{cases} u''-\Delta u+g(u')= |u|^{q-1} u\quad & \text{in }\Omega \times\mathbb{R}_+,\\ u=0 \quad & \text{on } \Gamma\times\mathbb{R}_+,\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x),\;u'(x,0)=u_1(x)\quad & \text{in } \Omega,\end{cases} \tag{1} \] where \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary \(\Gamma=\partial \Omega\) and \(g\) is a real-valued function. The author proves global existence of solution for (1) and studies the asymptotic behaviour of solution to (1) when \(g\) does not necessarily have polynomial growth near zero.
