Semi-linear Wave Equations with Effective Damping

The authors study the Cauchy problem for the semi-linear damped wave equation utt-△u+b(t)ut=f(u),u(0,χ)=u0(χ),ut(0,χ)=u1(χ) in any space dimension n ≥ 1. It is assumed that the time-dependent damping term b(t)〉 0 is effective, and in particular tb(t) →∞ as t →∞. The global existence of small energy...

More Information
Summary:The authors study the Cauchy problem for the semi-linear damped wave equation utt-△u+b(t)ut=f(u),u(0,χ)=u0(χ),ut(0,χ)=u1(χ) in any space dimension n ≥ 1. It is assumed that the time-dependent damping term b(t)〉 0 is effective, and in particular tb(t) →∞ as t →∞. The global existence of small energy data solutions for|f(u)|≈|u|^p in the supercritical case of p 〉 1+ 2/n and p ≤n/n-2 for n ≥ 3 is proved.
