AbstractIn this paper, we study the wave equation with frictional damping, time delay in the velocity, and logarithmic source of the form $$ u_{tt}(x,t) - \Delta u (x,t) + \alpha u_{t} (x,t) + \beta u_{t} (x, t- \tau ) = u(x,t) \ln \bigl\vert u(x,t) \bigr\vert ^{\gamma } . $$

There is much literature on wave equations with a polynomial nonlinear source, but not much on the equations with logarithmic source. We show the local and global existence of solutions using Faedo–Galerkin’s method and the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. And then we investigate the decay rates and infinite time blow-up for the solutions through the potential well and perturbed energy methods.
