Abstract

The paper deals with blow-up for the solutions of an evolution problem consisting in a semilinear wave equation posed in a bounded C1,1 open subset of ℝn, supplied with a Neumann boundary condition involving a nonlinear dissipation. The typical problem studied is

where ∂Ω = Γ0 ∪ Γ1, Γ0 ∩ Γ1 = ∅, σ(Γ0) > 0, 2 < p ≤ 2(n − 1)/(n − 2) (when n ≥ 3), m > 1, α ∈ L∞(Γ1), α ≥ 0 and β ≥ 0. The initial data are posed in the energy space.The aim of the paper is to improve previous blow-up results concerning the problem.
