Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the local weak existence and vacuum isolating of solutions, asymptotic behavior, and blow-up of the solutions for a wave equation involving the fractional Laplacian with nonlinear source. By means of the Galerkin approximations, we prove the local weak existence and finite time blow-up of the solutions and we give the upper and lower bounds for blow-up time.

1. Introduction
In the study of thermodynamic processes, the need to generalize the concept of differentiation of an integer order from a function to a fractional order differential arises often. For example, it is known that differential equations of order describe some physical processes, in particular, temperature changes in climate control objects, diffusion processes during super capacitor charging (see [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]).
The difficulty of generalization lies in the lack of physical interpretation of the concept of fractional derivatives and fractional integrals. For example, we all know that the first order derivatives with respect to time are the “average speed” of a point object over some finite time interval. Accordingly, the second-order derivatives set the “average acceleration” over a certain time interval. Fractional derivatives do not give similar interpretations that can be attributed to the point properties of an object or a small interval—rather, they are properties of the entire path-trajectory as a whole. Therefore, the semantic interpretations of fractional derivatives (more precisely, differential equations with fractional derivatives) are reflected in the descriptions of diffusion processes, in which the modeling object is fundamentally considered to be distributed, and all possible density distributions are considered (see [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]).
Here, we will discuss some of the system-related works that have helped pave the road for understanding and posing our primary problem. Pan, Pucci and Zhang [6] studied the initial-boundary value problem of degenerate Kirchhoff-type

The global existence, vacuum isolating and blow-up of solutions for (1) are obtained owing to the Galerkin method combined with the potential wells theory under some appropriate conditions (see [18,19,20]). Moreover, in [6], the authors also investigated the global existence of solutions under critical initial conditions. Furthermore, Pan et al. in [7] considered the following degenerate Kirchhoff equation with the nonlinear damping term,
where . The global existence, vacuum isolating, asymptotic behavior and blow-up of solutions for (2) are obtained by combining the Galerkin method with potential wells theory under some natural assumptions (see [11,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28]). In [29], Lin et al. studied the initial-boundary value problem of Kirchhoff wave equation
Here, motivated by the previous works, IVP involving the fractional Laplacian with nonlinearity is considered, let with Lipschitz boundary and ,
where . The exponent p satisfies
Our article is structured as follows. In Section 2, we describe our system and review several pertinent features and definitions pertaining to fractional Sobolev spaces. In Section 3, we discuss the local and global existence of solutions for the problem (4). As we will see, Section 4 will concentrate on the vacuum isolating of solutions. In addition, Section 4 examines decay estimates for solutions to the issue. In Section 6, we prove the solution to this issue, when is defined in (13), and give the upper and lower bounds for blow-up time.
2. Preliminaries

In this section, we prove blow-up results of the solution to problem (4), when . we give the proofs of the upper and lower bounds for blow-up time.
In [23], we demonstrated the blow-up of solutions with many conditions. However, in our current article, we replaced these conditions with a few conditions.
We begin by presenting the most important theorems that help us prove the blow-up of this solution.
Definition 2.
We say that the solution w blow-up in finite time if there exists such that,
Lemma 10.

We put , then,
Finally, we obtain my result,
The proof is therefore completed. □
7. Conclusions
To study such systems as a complete study, it is necessary to study them quantitatively and qualitatively. In a previous article [30], the global existence and behavior of the solution were studied during the evolution of time at infinity, where very good results were found. Supplementing these results, in this research, the same problem is studied from another angle and under other conditions contrary to what they were in the previous article [30], where we found a solution in a local time and then the solution blows up to announce the global non-existence. In this study, we used the latest methods and developed some computational techniques to make it easier for the reader to follow and understand the article. We created a new interaction between the various parameters r and p in order to find simple and clear results.
The article is devoted to a study of the question of the local (in time) existence of weak solutions and to the derivation of qualitative properties of such solutions for the wave equation with the fractional Laplace operator and a minor nonlinear damping term. At the beginning of the article, in Section 1 and Section 2, we make a brief overview of the literature on the topic and outline some preparatory information from the theory of fractional derivatives and equations involving such derivatives. In Section 3, by means of the basic properties of fractional derivatives and the application of the standard Galerkin method, the existence of a weak solution is established on some time segment . After this, in Section 4, Section 5 and Section 6, the qualitative properties are established for the solutions, namely, the isolation of solutions from zero (i.e., from the vacuum), the conditional result on the decay of solutions, and the conditional result on the blow-up of solutions.
