Abstract

In this note, two blow-up results are proved for a weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations with distinct scale-invariant lower order terms both in the subcritical case and in the critical case when the damping and the mass terms make both equations in some sense “wave-like”. In the proof of the subcritical case, an iteration argument is used. This approach is based on a coupled system of nonlinear ordinary integral inequalities and lower bound estimates for the spatial integral of the nonlinearities. In the critical case, we employ a test function-type method that has been developed recently by Ikeda-Sobajima-Wakasa and relies strongly on a family of certain self-similar solutions of the adjoint linear equation. Therefore, as critical curve in the p−q plane of the exponents of the power nonlinearities for this weakly coupled system, we conjecture a shift of the critical curve for the corresponding weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations.
