In this article, we consider the damped wave equation in the scale-invariant case with time-dependent speed of propagation, mass term and time derivative nonlinearity. More precisely, we study the blow-up of the solutions to the following equation: ( E ) u t t − t 2 m Δ u + μ t u t + ν 2 t 2 u = | u t | p , in R N × [ 1 , ∞ ) , that we associate with small initial data. Assuming some assumptions on the mass and damping coefficients, ν and μ > 0, respectively, we prove that blow-up region and the lifespan bound of the solution of ( E ) remain the same as the ones obtained for the case without mass, i.e. ( E ) with ν = 0 which constitutes itself a shift of the dimension N by μ 1 + m compared to the problem without damping and mass. Finally, we think that the new bound for p is a serious candidate to the critical exponent which characterizes the threshold between the blow-up and the global existence regions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
