Title: A note on the lifespan of solutions to the semilinear wave equation with weighted nonlinearity
(Submitted on 24 Apr 2024)
Abstract: We investigate the lifespan of solutions to a specific variant of the semilinear wave equation, which incorporates weighted nonlinearity $$ u_{tt}-u_{xx} =|x|^\alpha |u|^p, \quad\mbox{for}\;\;\; (t,x)\in (0,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}, $$ where $p>1$, $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. We explore the behavior of solutions for small initial data, considering the influence of weighted nonlinearities on the lifespan.
