Abstract

We are interested in this article in studying the damped wave equation with localized initial data, in the \textit{scale-invariant case} with mass term and two combined nonlinearities. More precisely, we consider the following equation: (E)1cmuttΔu+μ1+tut+ν2(1+t)2u=utp+uq,\mboxin RN×[0,), (E) {1cm} u_{tt}-\Delta u+\frac{\mu}{1+t}u_t+\frac{\nu^2}{(1+t)^2}u=|u_t|^p+|u|^q, \quad \mbox{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N\times[0,\infty), with small initial data. Under some assumptions on the mass and damping coefficients, ν\nu and μ>0\mu>0, respectively, we show that blow-up region and the lifespan bound of the solution of (E)(E) remain the same as the ones obtained in \cite{Our2} in the case of a mass-free wave equation, it i.e. (E)(E) with ν=0\nu=0. Furthermore, using in part the computations done for (E)(E), we enhance the result in \cite{Palmieri} on the Glassey conjecture for the solution of (E)(E) with omitting the nonlinear term uq|u|^q. Indeed, the blow-up region is extended from p(1,pG(N+σ)]p \in (1, p_G(N+\sigma)], where σ\sigma is given by (1.12) below, to p(1,pG(N+μ)]p \in (1, p_G(N+\mu)] yielding, hence, a better estimate of the lifespan when (μ1)24ν2<1(\mu-1)^2-4\nu^2<1. Otherwise, the two results coincide. Finally, we may conclude that the mass term {\it has no influence} on the dynamics of (E)(E) (resp. (E)(E) without the nonlinear term uq|u|^q), and the conjecture we made in \cite{Our2} on the threshold between the blow-up and the global existence regions obtained holds true here.
