In this paper, we investigate the effect of weight function in the nonlinear part on global solvability of the Cauchy problem for a class of semi-linear hyperbolic equations with damping.
Consider the Cauchy problem for the semi-linear wave equation with damping
where,
In the case when is independent of, the existence and nonexistence of the global solutions was investigated in the papers [1-8]. The authors interests are focused on so called critical exponent, which is the number defined by the following property: if then all small data solutions of corresponding Cauchy problem have a global solution, while all solutions with data positive on blow up in finite time regardless of the smallness of the data.
In the present paper we investigate the effect of the weight function on global solvability of Cauchy problems (1) and (2).
We consider the Cauchy problem for a class of semilinear hyperbolic equation
where
Throughout this paper, we assume that the nonlinear term satisfies the following conditions:
1) and are continuous functions in the domain.
2), and
where
In the sequel, by, we denote the usual - norm. For simplicity of notation, in particular, we write instead of. The constants C, c used throughout this paper are positive generic constants, which may be different in various occurrences.
Theorem 1. Suppose that the conditions (5)-(8) are satisfied. Then there exists a real number such that, if
Then problem (3) and (4) admit a unique solution

,.
It is well known that if
then, i.e. problem (3) and (4) have a global solution (see for example [
Using the Fourier transformation, Plancherel theorem and the Hausdorff-Young inequality, for the solution we have the following inequalities (see [
where,
On the other hand, by virtue of condition 2˚
and
Using the Holder inequality, from (16) we have
.
By virtue of condition (7), (8) and the multiplicative inequality of Gagliardo-Nirenberg type, we have

Analogously from (17) we have

From (12), (16) and (20) we have the following estimates

Then, we have from (19), (21) and (28) that
It is clear from conditions (7), (8) and (29), (30) that
.
Allowing for (24), (25) we obtain that
Thus the a priori estimate (9) is satisfied, so. From (14) and (31) we yield the inequality (10).
Next let us discus the counterpart of the conditions (7) and (8). To this end we considered the Cauchy problem for the semi-linear hyperbolic inequalities
where

From Theorem 1 it follows that if and
then there exists such that for any

Theorem 2. Let

Then problems (32) and (33) have no nontrivial solutions.
We assume that is a global solution of (32) and (33). Let be such that
and, choose

Taking such a as the test function in Definition 1, we get that
The choose of implies that
Define. Again, by the choice of, it is easy to show that
Take scaled variables, then we have
where
Letting in (39), owing to (35), (40), (41) we get
Taking into account condition (36), from (45) it follows that
Further, by applying the Holder inequality, from (37) we obtain
Letting in (47), owing to (45), we get
Finally, taking into condition (36), we have that
