On the wave equation with logarithmic damping: wellposedness, blow-up and numerical analysis

Abstract

In this work, we are concern with the wave equation subjected to a nonlinear feedback of logarithmic type and nonlinear polynomial source. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of this novel damping mechanism, we start with studying the well-posedness and the uniqueness of the problem. Then we establish the blow-up result of the problem under suitable initial data with negative initial energy and critical exponent of the source term. Finally, we present a brief numerical study and examples that support our result.
