On the critical exponent and sharp lifespan estimates for semilinear damped wave equations with data from Sobolev spaces of negative order

We study semilinear damped wave equations with power nonlinearity $|u|^p$ and initial data belonging to Sobolev spaces of negative order $\dot{H}^{-\gamma}$. In the present paper, we obtain a new critical exponent $p=p_{\mathrm{crit}}(n,\gamma):=1+\frac{4}{n+2\gamma}$ for some $\gamma\in(0,\frac{n}{2})$ and low dimensions in the framework of Soblev spaces of negative order. Precisely, global (in …
