Semilinear wave inequalities with double damping and potential terms on Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract

We study a semilinear wave inequality with double damping on a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold. The considered problem involves a potential function $V$ depending on the space variable in front of the power nonlinearity and an inhomogeneous term $W$ depending on both time and space variables. Namely, we establish sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of weak solutions in both cases: $W\equiv 0$ and $W\not\equiv 0$. The obtained conditions depend on the parameters of the problem as well as the geometry of the manifold. Some special cases of manifolds, and of $V$ and $W$ are discussed in detail.
