Blow-up and global solubility in the classical sense of the Cauchy problem for a formally hyperbolic equation with a non-coercive source

Abstract

We consider an abstract Cauchy problem with non-linear operator coefficients and prove the existence of a unique non-extendable classical solution. Under certain sufficient close-to-necessary conditions, we obtain finite-time blow-up conditions and upper and lower bounds for the blow-up time. Moreover, under certain sufficient close-to-necessary conditions, we obtain a result on the existence of a global-in-time solution independently of the size of the initial functions.
