Abstract

In this paper, we would like to consider the Cauchy problem for a weakly coupled system of semi-linear damped wave equations with mixed nonlinear terms. Our main objective is to draw conclusions about the critical curve of this problem using tools from Harmonic Analysis. Precisely, we obtain a new critical curve pq=1+2npq = 1+ \frac{2}{n} for n=1,2n =1,2 by proving global (in time) existence of small data Sobolev solutions when pq>1+2npq > 1 +\frac{2}{n} and blow-up of weak solutions in finite time even for small data when pq<1+2npq < 1+ \frac{2}{n} for n1n \geq 1. From this, we infer the impact of the nonlinearities of time derivative-type on the critical curve associated with the system.
