Accepted for publication in Nonlinear Analysis:Theory, Methods & Applications", "categories": [ "math.AP" ], "abstract": "In this article we study global existence and blow-up of solutions for a general class of nonlocal nonlinear wave equations with power-type nonlinearities, $u_{tt}-Lu_{xx}=B(- |u|^{p-1}u)_{xx}, ~(p>1)$, where the nonlocality enters through two pseudo-differential operators $L$ and $B$. We establish thresholds for global existence versus blow-up using the potential well method which relies essentially on the ideas suggested by Payne and Sattinger. Our results improve the global existence and blow-up results given in the literature for the present class of nonlocal nonlinear wave equations and cover those given for many well-known nonlinear dispersive wave equations such as the so-called double-dispersion equation and the traditional Boussinesq-type equations, as special cases.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-09-10T06:35:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "doubly dispersive nonlocal wave equations", "global existence", "general class", "nonlocal nonlinear wave equations", "nonlinear dispersive wave equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1309.2385E" } } }
