This is an improvement of the so-called Matsumura estimates. Moreover, as its application, we consider the nonlinear problem with initial data in $(H^s\\cap H_r^{\\beta}) \\times (H^{s-1} \\cap L^r)$ with $r \\in (1,2]$, $s\\ge 0$, and $\\beta = (n-1)|\\frac{1}{2}-\\frac{1}{r}|$, and prove the local and global existence of solutions. In particular, we prove the existence of the global solution with small initial data for the critical nonlinearity with the power $1+\\frac{2r}{n}$, while it is known that the critical power $1+\\frac{2}{n}$ belongs to the blow-up region when $r=1$. We also discuss the asymptotic behavior of the global solution in supercritical cases. Moreover, we present blow-up results in subcritical cases. We give estimates of lifespan and blow-up rates by an ODE argument.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-18T00:38:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35L71", "35A01", "35B40", "35B44" ], "keywords": [ "damped wave equation", "slowly decaying data", "nonlinear problem", "critical exponent", "global solution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
