Blow-up and lifespan estimates for a damped wave equation in the Einstein-de Sitter spacetime with nonlinearity of derivative type

In this article, we investigate the blow-up for local solutions to a semilinear wave equation in the generalized Einstein - de Sitter spacetime with nonlinearity of derivative type. More precisely, we consider a semilinear damped wave equation with a time-dependent and not summable speed of propagation and with a time-dependent coefficient for the linear damping term with critical decay rate. We prove in this work that the results obtained in a previous work, where the damping coefficient takes two particular values $0$ or $2$, can be extended for any positive damping coefficient. In the blow-up case, the upper bound of the exponent of the nonlinear term is given, and the lifespan estimate of the global existence time is derived as well.
