Abstract

The critical constant µ (see (1.1)) of time-decaying damping in the scale-invariant case is recently conjectured. It also has been expected that the lifespan estimate is the same as for the associated semilinear heat equations if the constant is in the “heat-like” domain. In this paper, we point out that this is not true if the total integral of the sum of initial position and speed vanishes. In such a case, we have a new type of the lifespan estimates which is closely related to the non-damped case in shifted space dimensions.
