Abstract: In this paper, we consider a weakly coupled system of a wave and damped Klein-Gordon equation with nonlinearities of derivative type. We prove a blow-up result for the Cauchy problem associated with this system for nonnegative and compactly supported data by means of an iteration argument.


In the present paper, the authors study the following Nakao-type weakly coupled system with nonlinearities of derivative type: \begin{eqnarray*} && u_{tt} \Delta u + bu_t+m^2 u=|v_t|^p, \,\,\,v_{tt} -\Delta v=|u_t|^q,\,\,\,(t,x)\in (0,T)\times \mathbb{R}^n,\\ && (u,u_t)(0,x)=\varepsilon(u_0,u_1)(x), \,\,\,(v,v_t)(0,x)=\varepsilon(v_0,v_1)(x),\,\,\,x \in \mathbb{R}^n, \end{eqnarray*} where \(p,q>1\), \(b>0\), \(m^2 \geq 0\) are constants, and \(\varepsilon>0\) is a parameter describing the size of the Cauchy data. The main goal of the paper is to prove a blow-up result for local (in time) classical solutions and to provide an upper bound estimate for the lifespan \(T(\varepsilon)\). These results are proved under the following assumptions: \begin{itemize} \item[1.] The data \(u_0,v_0\) are supposed to be nonnegative and compactly supported and belong to \(C_0^2(\mathbb{R}^n)\). \item[2.] The data \(u_1,v_1\) are supposed to be nonnegative and compactly supported and belong to \(C_0^1(\mathbb{R}^n)\). The data \(v_1\) is nontrivial. \item[3.] It holds \(b^2 \geq 4m^2\), that is, the classical damped Klein-Gordon equation of the above model is a model with dominant dissipation or a balanced model between mass and damping term. \item[4.] For the space dimension \(n\) and powers \(p\) and \(q\) it holds \[ \frac{1}{pq-1}-\frac{n-1}{2} \geq 0. \] \end{itemize} The method of proof uses a technique of Zhou basing on a reduction of the above model to the 1d case by integrating with respect to the last \(n-1\) space variables and proving blow-up on a suitable characteristic line. Moreover, the authors use an iteration argument (slicing procedure) to derive a sequence of lower bound estimates for suitable time-dependent functionals. Some integral representation formula for linear classical damped Klein-Gordon models in 1d are used. It would be nice to answer the following challenging questions in the future. \begin{itemize} \item What about lower bound estimates for the lifespan? \item Are there some blow-up results for the above model in the mass dominant case \(b^2 < 4m^2\)? \item Do we have global (in time) well-posedness results for the above model for \(b^2 \geq 4m^2\) and \[ \frac{1}{pq-1}-\frac{n-1}{2} < 0? \] \end{itemize}
