In this paper, we consider a coupled system of two biharmonic equations with damping and source terms of variable-exponent nonlinearities, supplemented with initial and mixed boundary conditions. We establish an existence and uniqueness result of a weak solution, under suitable assumptions on the variable exponents. Then, we show that solutions with negative-initial energy blow up in finite time. To illustrate our theoritical findings, we present two numerical examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we consider a coupled system of two nonlinear hyperbolic equations, where the exponents in the damping and source terms are variables. First, we prove a theorem of existence and uniqueness of weak solution, by using the Faedo Galerkin approximations and the Banach fixed point theorem. Then, using the energy method, we show that certain solutions with positive initial energy blow up in finite time. We also give some numerical applications to illustrate our theoretical results.
