Abstract:

In this paper, we first derive some blow-up results for two ordinary differential inequalities with variable coefficients, which are the generalizations of Theorem 3.1 in Li and Zhou[3]. Second, as an application of the improved ordinary differential inequality, we consider the Cauchy problem for the semilinear wave equation with scale-invariant damping and deduce the upper bound of the lifespan for the case $\mu>1$ and $ 1 < p < 1+\frac{2}{n}$ under some suitable assumptions for the initial data. The method for the latter result is due to Lai and Zhou[11].
