Abstract

This paper is concerned with the blowup phenomena for initial-boundary value problem for certain semi linear parabolic, dispersive and hyperbolic equations in cone-like domain. The result proposes a unified treatment of estimates for lifespan of solutions to the problem by test function method. The Fujita exponent p=1 + 2/N appears as a threshold of blowup phenomena for small data when CΣ=RNC_{{\Sigma}}=R^N , but the case of cone-like domain with boundary the threshold changes and explicitly given via the first eigenvalue of corresponding Laplace-Beltrami operator with Dirichlet boundary condition as in Levine-Meier in 1989.

We prove the sharp upper bound of lifespan to semilinear heat equation, damped wave equation and Schr\"odinger equation in the Euclidean space in L^1-setting for convenience of readers
