Abstract: It is well-known that the critical exponent for semilinear damped wave equations is Fujita exponent when the damping is effective. Lai, Takamura and Wakasa in 2017 have obtained a blow-up result not only for super-Fujita exponent but also for the one closely related to Strauss exponent when the damping is scaling invariant and its constant is relatively small,which has been recently extended by Ikeda and Sobajima. Introducing a multiplier for the time-derivative of the spatial integral of unknown functions, we succeed in employing the technics on the analysis for semilinear wave equations and proving a blow-up result for semilinear damped wave equations with sub-Strauss exponent when the damping is in the scattering range.


In this paper, the authors studied finite time blow-up for solutions to the damped semi-linear wave equation in scattering case (\(\beta>1\) and \(\mu>0\)) with small data \(u_{tt}-\Delta u + \frac{\mu u_{t}}{(1+t)^{\beta}} = |u|^{p}\). When \(\mu=0\), it is related to the Strauss conjecture, and it is well-known that the critical exponent of the problem is the Strauss exponent, \(p_{S}(n)\), which is the positive root of quadratic equation \(\gamma(p,n):= 2 + (n+1)p - (n-1)p^{2} = 0\). Here, as \(\beta > 1\) and \(\mu>0\), we have \((1+t)^{-\beta}\in L^{1}\) and it is natural to expect similar properties for the solutions. As is expected, the authors proved the blow up results for \(1<p< p_{S}(n)\), together with upper bound of the lifespan \[ T \leq C\varepsilon^{\frac{-2p(p-1)}{\gamma(p,n)}} \] for a class of small initial data with size \(\varepsilon\). The idea of proof is to mainly exploit the method of test functions developed in Sideris and Yordanov-Zhang, together with appropriately chosen integration factor.
