Appearance of Strauss-type exponent in semilinear wave equations with time-dependent speed of propagation
Abstract
In this paper, blowup phenomenon for the semilinear wave equation with time-dependent speed of propagation and scattering damping is considered under the smallness of initial data. Our result contains small data blowup for sub-Strauss exponent for the simplest semilinear wave equation and also the one for semilinear generalized Tricomi equation. Key ingredient is so-called test function method (developed in Ikeda--Sobajima--Wakasa [10]) with a certain conservative quantity via a special solution with the Liouville--Green (or WKB) approximation.
