Abstract

We consider the problem

utt + δut + εaΔu + ϕ(Ω|∇u|2dxuf(x, t),

posed in Ω × (0, +∞). Here is a an open smooth bounded domain and ϕ is like ϕ(s) = bsγ, γ > 0, a > 0 and ε = ±1. We prove, in certain conditions on f and ϕ that there is absence of global solutions. The method of proof relies on a simple analysis of the ordinary inequality of the type

w″ + δw′ ≥ αw + βwp.

It is also shown that a global positive solution, when it exists, must decay at least exponentially.
