This paper investigates the well‐posedness of solutions for the following quasilinear wave equation with strong damping and logarithmic nonlinearity in a bounded domain with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary: utt−normalΔu−div(∇u1+false|∇ufalse|2)−normalΔut=false|ufalse|r−2ulog|u|$u_{tt}-\Delta u-{\rm div}(\frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt {1+|\nabla u|^2}})-\Delta u_t=|u|^{r-2}u\log |u|$, where r≥2$r\ge 2$. By virtue of the classical Faedo–Galerkin method and some technical efforts, we first establish the local well‐posedness of solutions. Then we discuss the dynamical behaviors of solutions in detail:
1.When r≥2$r\ge 2$ and Ifalse(u0false)>0$I(u_0)>0$, we show that the solutions exist globally with subcritical and critical initial energy, where Ifalse(u0false)$I(u_0)$ denotes the Nehari functional with the initial value u0. Especially, under further suitable assumptions about the initial data, we show that the energy functional decays exponentially.
2.When r>2$r>2$ and Ifalse(u0false)<0$I(u_0)<0$, we show that the solutions blow up in finite time with subcritical and critical initial energy. Moreover, by removing the restriction Ifalse(u0false)<0$I(u_0)<0$, we prove that the solutions may blow up in finite time with arbitrary high initial energy. In particular, we derive the upper and lower bounds of the blow‐up time.
3.When r=2$r=2$ and Ifalse(u0false)<0$I(u_0)<0$, we show that the maximal existence time of solutions can be extended to infinity and the solutions blow up at infinity with subcritical, critical, and arbitrary high initial energy.
