Abstract

We consider the initial boundary value problem in exterior domain for strongly damped wave equations with power-type nonlinearity \(|u|^p\). We will establish blow-up results under some conditions on the initial data and the exponent p, using the method of test function with an appropriate harmonic functions. We also study the existence of mild solution and its relation with the weak formulation.
