The final open part of Straussʼ conjecture on semilinear wave equations was the blow-up theorem for the critical case in high dimensions. This problem was solved by Yordanov and Zhang (2006)[18], or Zhou (2007)[21] independently. But the estimate for the lifespan, the maximal existence time, of solutions was not clarified in both papers. In this paper, we refine their theorems and introduce a new iteration argument to get the sharp upper bound of the lifespan. As a result, with the sharp lower bound by Li and Zhou (1995)[10], the lifespan T (ε) of solutions of u t t− Δ u= u 2 in R 4×[0,∞) with the initial data u (x, 0)= ε f (x), u t (x, 0)= ε g (x) of a small parameter ε> 0, compactly supported smooth functions f and g, has an estimate exp (c ε− 2)⩽ T (ε)⩽ exp (C ε− 2), where c and C are positive constants depending only on f and g. This upper bound has been known to be the last open optimality of the general theory for fully nonlinear wave equations.
