The sharp estimate of the lifespan for semilinear wave equation with time-dependent damping

We consider the following semilinear wave equation with time-dependent damping. \begin{align*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \partial_t^2 u - \Delta u + b(t)\partial_t u = |u|^{p}, & (t,x) \in [0,T) \times \mathbb R^n, \\ u(0,x)=\varepsilon u_0(x), u_t(0,x)=\varepsilon u_1(x), & x \in \mathbb R^n, \end{array} \right. \end{align*} where $n \in \mathbb N$, $p > …
