Abstract
In this paper we consider the blow-up of solutions to a weakly coupled system of semilinear damped wave equations in the scattering case with nonlinearities of mixed type. The proof of the blow-up results is based on an iteration argument. We find as critical curve for the pair of exponents (p, q) in the nonlinear terms the same one found for the weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations with the same kind of nonlinearities. In the critical and not-damped case we combine an iteration argument with the so-called slicing method to show the blow-up dynamic of a weighted version of the functionals used in the subcritical case.
