We consider the Cauchy problem of the semilinear wave equation with a damping term u tt-Δ u+ c (t, x) ut=| u| p,(t, x)∈(0,∞)× RN, u (0, x)= ε u 0 (x), ut (0, x)= ε u 1 (x), x∈ RN, where p> 1 and the coefficient of the damping term has the form c (t, x)= a 0 (1+| x| 2)-α/2 (1+ t)-β with some a 0> 0, α< 0, β∈(-1, 1]. In particular, we mainly consider the cases α< 0, β= 0 or α< 0, β= 1, which imply α+ β< 1, namely, the damping is spatially increasing and effective. Our aim is to prove that the critical exponent is given by p= 1+ 2 N-α. This shows that the critical exponent is the same as that of the corresponding parabolic equation c (t, x) vt-Δ v=| v| p. The global existence part is proved by a weighted energy estimates with an exponential-type weight function and a special case of the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg inequality. The blow-up part is proved by a test-function method introduced by Ikeda and Sobajima. We also give an upper estimate of the lifespan.
