In this work we determine the critical exponent for a weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations with distinct scale-invariant lower order terms, when these terms make both equations in some sense parabolic-like. For the blow-up…
We establish the validity of a strong unique continuation property for weakly coupled elliptic systems, including competitive ones. Our proof exploits the system structure and uses Carleman estimates. We apply this result to obtain some…
