Pohozaev (Univ. di Roma, Roma, Italy) Alberto Tesei (Univ. di Roma, Roma, Italy) Abstract: We prove instantaneous blow-up of nonnegative solutions for a class of semilinear hyperbolic inequalities with first order terms and singular coefficients. The present approach relies on a suitable choice of the functions used to test the differential inequalities. Published October 21, 2002. Math Subject Classifications: 35L15, 35L70, 35A70.
