. If

=

, our results coincide with those of the semilinear wave equation. The novelty consists in the construction of a new test function, by combining cut-off functions, the modified Bessel function of second kind and a (generalized) eigenfunction of the Laplacian. Interestingly, if
n
=
2
the blow-up power is independent of
m
. We also furnish a local existence result, which implies the optimality of lifespan estimate at least in the 1-dimensional case.
