Global existence and blow-up of solutions for a system of nonlinear viscoelastic wave equations with damping and source

In this paper we investigate the global existence and finite time blow-up of solutions to the system of nonlinear viscoelastic wave equations

in Ω×(0,T) with initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions, where Ω is a bounded domain in . Under suitable assumptions on the functions g_i(), , the initial data and the parameters in the equations, we establish several results concerning local existence, global existence, uniqueness and finite time blow-up property.     

Global existence and blow-up solutions and blow-up estimates for a non-local quasilinear degenerate parabolic system

This paper deals with p-Laplacian systems

with null Dirichlet boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain ΩR^N, where p,q>1, , and a,b>0 are positive constants. We first get the non-existence result for a related elliptic systems of non-increasing positive solutions. Secondly by using this non-existence result, blow-up estimates for above p-Laplacian systems with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary value conditions are obtained under Ω=B_R={xR^N:|x|<R}(R>0). Then under appropriate hypotheses, we establish local theory of the solutions and obtain that the solutions either exists globally or blow-up in finite time.     

Algebraic criteria for global existence or blow-up for a boundary coupled system of nonlinear diffusion equations

This article deals with the critical curves for a degenerate parabolic system coupled via nonlinear boundary flux. By constructing the self-similar supersolution and subsolution, we obtain the critical global existence curve. The critical curve of Fujita type is conjectured with the aid of some new results.     

Sharp condition of global existence for second-order derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations in two space dimensions

This paper discusses a class of second-order derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equations which are used to describe the upper-hybrid oscillation propagation. By establishing a variational problem, applying the potential well argument and the concavity method, we prove that there exists a sharp condition for global existence and blow-up of the solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In addition, we also answer the question: how small are the initial data, the global solutions exist?     

The blow-up rate for a system of heat equations with neumann boundary conditions

This paper deals with the blow-up properties of solutions to a system of heat equations u _t=Δu, v _t=Δv in B _R×(0, T) with the Neumann boundary conditions εu/εη=e ^v, εv/εη=e ^u on S _R×[0, T). The exact blow-up rates are established. It is also proved that the blow-up will occur only on the boundary. This work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China     

Some blow-up problems for a semilinear parabolic equation with a potential

The blow-up rate estimate for the solution to a semilinear parabolic equation ut=Δu+V(x)|u|^p−1u in Ω×(0,T) with 0-Dirichlet boundary condition is obtained. As an application, it is shown that the asymptotic behavior of blow-up time and blow-up set of the problem with nonnegative initial data u(x,0)=Mφ(x) as M goes to infinity, which have been found in [C. Cortazar, M. Elgueta, J.D. Rossi, The blow-up problem for a semilinear parabolic equation with a potential, preprint, arXiv: math.AP/0607055, July 2006], is improved under some reasonable and weaker conditions compared with [C. Cortazar, M. Elgueta, J.D. Rossi, The blow-up problem for a semilinear parabolic equation with a potential, preprint, arXiv: math.AP/0607055, July 2006].     

Finite time blow-up for radially symmetric solutions to a critical quasilinear Smoluchowski–Poisson system

Finite time blow-up is shown to occur for radially symmetric solutions to a critical quasilinear Smoluchowski–Poisson system provided that the mass of the initial condition exceeds an explicit threshold. In the supercritical case, blow-up is shown to take place for any positive mass. The proof relies on a novel identity of virial type. To cite this article: T. Cie?lak, P. Laurençot, C. R. Acad. Sci.

Lower bounds for the blow-up time in a semilinear parabolic problem involving a variable source

This letter is concerned with the blow-up of the solutions to a semilinear parabolic problem with a reaction given by a variable exponent. Lower bounds for the time of blow-up are derived if the solutions blow up.     

Hydrodynamical limit for a drift-diffusion system modeling large-population dynamics

In this paper we study the stability of the following nonlinear drift-diffusion system modeling large population dynamics ∂_tρ+div(ρU−ε∇ρ)=0, divU=±ρ, with respect to the viscosity parameter ε. The sign in the second equation depends on the attractive or repulsive character of the field U. A proof of the compactness and convergence properties in the vanishing viscosity regime is given. The lack of compactness in the attractive case is caused by the blow-up of the solution which depends on the mass and on the space dimension. Our stability result is connected, depending of the character of the potentials, with models in semiconductor theory or in biological population.

Necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for global existence for two-components nonlinear Schrödinger equations in the super critical case

In this paper, we consider two-components nonlinear Schrödinger equations in the super critical case. We establish a necessary condition and a sufficient condition of global existence of the solution for two-components nonlinear Schrödinger equations. These conditions are charge criterion of global existence in the super critical case, thereby extending the results in the critical case. Furthermore, we improve a blow-up condition.

Critical mass phenomenon for a chemotaxis kinetic model with spherically symmetric initial data

The goal of this paper is to exhibit a critical mass phenomenon occurring in a model for cell self-organization via chemotaxis. The very well-known dichotomy arising in the behavior of the macroscopic Keller–Segel system is derived at the kinetic level, being closer to microscopic features. Indeed, under the assumption of spherical symmetry, we prove that solutions with initial data of large mass blow-up in finite time, whereas solutions with initial data of small mass do not. Blow-up is the consequence of a momentum computation and the existence part is derived from a comparison argument. Spherical symmetry is crucial within the two approaches. We also briefly investigate the drift-diffusion limit of such a kinetic model. We recover partially at the limit the Keller–Segel criterion for blow-up, thus arguing in favour of a global link between the two models.     

Blow-up and global solutions for nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with nonlinear boundary condition

This paper deals with the blow-up of positive solutions for a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation subject to nonlinear boundary conditions. We obtain the conditions under which the solutions may exist globally or blow up in finite time. Moreover, an upper bound of the blow-up time, an upper estimate of the blow-up rate, and an upper estimate of the global solutions are given. At last we give two examples to which the theorems obtained in the paper may be applied.     

Global existence of the radially symmetric strong solution to Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations for isentropic compressible fluids

We prove the two existence results of the radially symmetric strong solutions to the Navier- Stokes-Poisson equations for isentropic compressible fluids. The important point in this paper is that the initial density is vacuum. It is different from weak solutions. Now we need some compatibility condition.
