Abstract

In this article, we study the blow-up of the damped wave equation in the \textit{scale-invariant case} and in the presence of two nonlinearities. More precisely, we consider the following equation: \begin{displaymath} \d u_{tt}-\Delta u+\frac{\mu}{1+t}u_t=|u_t|^p+|u|^q, \quad \mbox{in}\ \R^N\times[0,\infty), \end{displaymath} with small initial data.\\ For $\mu < \frac{N(q-1)}{2}$ and $\mu \in (0, \mu_*)$, where $\mu_*>0$ is depending on the nonlinearties’ powers and the space dimension ($\mu_*$ satisfies $(q-1)\left((N+2\mu_*-1)p-2\right) = 4$), we prove that the wave equation, in this case, behaves like the one without dissipation ($\mu =0$). Our result completes the previous studies in the case where the dissipation is given by $\frac{\mu}{(1+t)^\beta}u_t; \ \beta >1$ (\cite{LT3}), where, contrary to what we obtain in the present work, the effect of the damping is not significant in the dynamics. Interestingly, in our case, the influence of the damping term $\frac{\mu}{1+t}u_t$ is important.
