Abstract: The problem of blow up of solutions to the initial boundary value problem for non-autonomous semilinear wave equation with damping and accelerating terms under the Robin boundary condition is studied. Sufficient conditions of blow up in a finite time of solutions to semilinear damped wave equations with arbitrary large initial energy are obtained. A result on blow up of solutions with negative initial energy of semilinear second order wave equation with accelerating term is also obtained.


Considered is an IBVP for the second-order nonlinear wave equation with Robin boundary condition of the form: \[ u_{tt}+bu_t=\Delta u+f(u)+h(x,t),\text{ for }x\in\Omega,\, t>0, \] \[ \frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}+\gamma u=0,\text{ for }x\in\partial\Omega,\, t>0, \] \[ u(x,0)=u_o(x),u_t(x,0)=u_1(x),\, x\in\Omega. \] \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, \(\nu\) is the unit outward normal to the boundary, \(b,\gamma\in\mathbb{R}\) are given real numbers. For weakly damped nonlinear wave equations, i.e. \(b>0\) and \(\gamma>0\), sufficient conditions for the global nonexistence of solutions are proved. One proves the existence of solutions with large initial energy that blow up in finite time. The second main result in paper refers to the case of accelerating term, i.e. \(\gamma\in\mathbb{R}\) and \(b<0\). Under some assumptions involving initial conditions, nonlinear term \(f\) and source term \(h\), sufficient conditions for the blow-up of solutions are shown.
