This work is concerned with the proof of Lp-Lq decay estimates for solutions of the Cauchy problem for utt-λ2(t)b2(t) △ u =0. The coefficient consists of an increasing smooth function λ and an oscillating smooth and bounded function b which are uniformly separated from zero. The authors’ main interest is devoted to the critical case where one has an interesting interplay between the growing and the oscillating part.
