Abstract

Firstly, we study the equation u=uqc+up\square u = |u|^{q_c}+ |\partial u|^p with small data, where qcq_c is the critical power of Strauss conjecture and pqc.p\geq q_c. We obtain the optimal lifespan ln(Tε)εqc(qc1)\ln({T_\varepsilon})\approx\varepsilon^{-q_c(q_c-1)} in n=3n=3, and improve the lower-bound of TεT_\varepsilon from exp(cε(qc1))\exp({c\varepsilon^{-(q_c-1)}}) to exp(cε(qc1)2/2)\exp({c\varepsilon^{-(q_c-1)^2/2}}) in n=2n=2. Then, we study the Cauchy problem with small initial data for a system of semilinear wave equations u=vq,\square u = |v|^q, v=tup \square v = |\partial_t u|^p in 3-dimensional space with q<2q<2. We obtain that this system admits a global solution above a pqp-q curve for spherically symmetric data. On the contrary, we get a new region where the solution will blow up.
