Abstract We prove that solutions to the quintic semilinear wave equation with variable coefficients in ${{\mathbb {R}}}^{1+3}$ scatter to a solution to the corresponding linear wave equation. The coefficients are small and decay as $|x|\to \infty$ , but are allowed to be time dependent. The proof uses local energy decay estimates to establish the decay of the $L^{6}$ norm of the solution as $t\to \infty$ .

We are interested in Lp-estimates and scattering rates for the dissipative wave equation with time-dependent coefficients in an exterior domain outside a star-shaped obstacle. We want to notice the case that the support of dissipation expands strictly less than the wave speed. We develop a new cut-off method, which is time dependent. For this, we shall obtain the local energy decay over the time-dependent subdomain
