Abstract

We present a condition on the self-interaction term that guaranties the existence of the global-in-time solution of the Cauchy problem for the semilinear Klein–Gordon equation in the FLRW model of the contracting universe. For the equation with the Higgs potential, we give an estimate for the lifespan of solution.
