Abstract
In this work, by the use of a semigroup theory approach, we provide a global solution for an initial boundary value problem of the wave equation with logarithmic nonlinear source terms and fractional boundary dissipation. In addition to this, we establish a blow-up result for the solution under the condition of non-positive initial energy.

1. Introduction
Fractional calculus has found applications in various fields because of its ability to describe phenomena involving non-integer order derivatives and integrals. Fractional calculus is a powerful and versatile tool that extends the capabilities of traditional calculus, enabling a more accurate representation of complex systems across a wide range of scientific and engineering domains. Its importance lies in its ability to bridge the gap between theory and real-world observations, providing a more effective representation of natural problems. Recent times have witnessed the emergence of novel definitions for fractional derivatives and integrals, extending the classical formulations in various ways. Moreover, a dynamic realm of research in mathematical analysis has been dedicated to the meticulous examination of the functional properties inherent in these new definitions. Extensive exploration of systems involving partial differential equations with fractional-order operators has been conducted from both analytical and numerical perspectives. These systems find widespread applications in science and technology, seamlessly modeling phenomena in diverse fields, such as biology, ecology, and chemistry, among others. The physical meaning of using a fractional derivative in the boundary condition is a complex topic that may be considered in our future work. However, fractional derivatives are non-local, which makes fractional calculus more attractive than the classical derivatives for real-world problems.
In [1], the authors delved into the realm of ultra-parabolic equations. Specifically, they explored equations with a singular lower-order term, showing the applicability of Harnack inequalities in this context. The paper contributed to the understanding of hypoelliptic ultra-parabolic equations, providing insights that enhance our comprehension of their behavior and laying the groundwork for further developments in the field of mathematical analysis.
In the light of the work of [2], we propose the following problem:
in which denotes a bounded domain in , where n is a positive integer. The domain possesses a smooth boundary, denoted as , characterized by a class. Additionally, represents the unit outward normal vector to , which can be expressed as the union of closed subsets and . Both and are subsets of and satisfy the condition that their union, , is an empty set. Here, nonlinearities occur, which are needed to obtain “blow-up” solutions. Nonlinear equations are usually difficult to analyze, and local existence can be established by standard arguments for most reasonable PDEs. However, global existence is not guaranteed, and blow-up can occur because of the presence of nonlinearities.
Let and denote the Lamé constants, satisfying and . The parameter p is greater than two, and the constant k is a small non-negative real number. The space comprises square integrable functions on with the inner product and its associated norm . Here, b is a nonnegative real number, and represents Caputo’s generalized fractional derivative with . This derivative is defined in [2,3] as given below:
in which the is the Euler gamma function. Further, we have the following:
in which is the exponential integro-differential operator of fractional derivative, given by
In the literature, several researchers explored problems of this nature from different aspects [4,5]. Utilizing the Lyapunov functional, they conducted a comprehensive study on the global existence of solutions and the overall decay within a bounded domain for a nonlinear wave equation featuring fractional derivative boundary conditions. Additionally, these studies delved into the examination of solutions, investigating both non-positive and positive initial energy and exploring the potential occurrence of blow-up phenomena. The blow-up issue in extraordinary problems has caused a lot of ink to flow. For instance, one can mention the paper by Liquing Lu and Shengjia Li [6]. Other authors, like [7], were interested in the case of such a problem in the frame of a Lamé system since it is found in quite a number of applications. In [8], the author established the global nonexistence of solutions for logarithmic wave equations with nonlinear damping and distributed delay terms. The findings contributed valuable insights into the limitations and constraints of such equations, enriching our understanding of their dynamic behavior. In this scenario, Yüksekkaya et al. [9], employing semigroup theory, addressed and established the well-posedness of an initial-boundary value problem for a logarithmic Lamé system with a time delay within a bounded domain. They further demonstrated the system’s possession of global solutions using the well-depth method, subject to suitable assumptions on the weights of both the time delay and frictional damping. Additionally, they provided an exponential stability decay result. This work is organized as follows: Section 1 provides a preliminary discussion of the requisite definitions and statements. Our focus in Section 2 is to illustrate the global existence and uniqueness of solutions in (1), and Section 3 is dedicated to presenting blow-up results.

Through our analysis, we not only provide a global solution but also establish a noteworthy blow-up result for the solution. The identification of a blow-up phenomenon under the condition of non-positive initial energy adds a significant dimension to our understanding of the system’s behavior, shedding light on the intricate interplay of nonlinearities and fractional dissipation in wave dynamics. This work contributes to the broader exploration of complex mathematical models, offering insights that advance our comprehension of wave equations with unique nonlinear and dissipative characteristics.
