An initial boundary value problem for systems of semilinear wave equations in a bounded domain is considered. We prove the global existence, uniqueness and blow-up of solutions by energy methods and give some estimates for the lifespan of solutions.

โฆ Synopsis
This work presents the finite-time blow-up of solutions to the equation
in the Minkowski space. We extend the previous result of Belchev, Kepka and Zhou [E. Belchev, M. Kepka, Z. Zhou, Finite-time blow-up of solutions to semilinear wave equations, J. Funct. Anal. 190 (1) (2002) 233-254] comprehensively. Due to a modification of the so-called method of conformal compactification used by Belchev, Kepka and Zhou, we show that the solutions blow up in finite time with more relaxed initial data and extended index p.

We give an example of the influence of the dependence of the coefficient of equation on time variable, and in particular oscillations in time, on a global existence of the solution to the nonlinear hyperbolic equation. Namely for arbitrary small initial data we construct a blowing up solution.
