Abstract

This work is concerned with a system of nonlinear wave equations with nonlinear damping and source terms acting on both equations. We prove a global nonexistence theorem for certain solutions with positive initial energy.

  • Wu et al 27 considered problem 1.1 with the nonlinear functions f1 u, v and f2 u, v satisfying appropriate conditions. They proved under some restrictions on the parameters and the initial data several results on global existence of a weak solution

  • In order to state and prove our result, we introduce the following function space: Z
