We consider the semilinear wave equation in higher dimensions with power nonlinearity in the superconformal range, and its perturbations with lower order terms, including the Klein-Gordon equation. We improve the upper bounds on blow-up solutions previously obtained by Killip, Stovall and Vişan [22]. Our proof uses the similarity variables' setting. We consider the equation in that setting as a perturbation of the conformal case, and we handle the extra terms thanks to the ideas we already developed in [16] for perturbations of the pure power conformal case with lower order terms.
Keywords: perturbations., Wave equation, blow-up.
