Blow-up and decay criteria for a model of chemotaxis

For a system of equations introduced by Jäger and Luckhaus (1992) [6] as a model of chemotaxis, the questions of blow-up and global existence criteria are investigated. Specifically, for a convex region, a lower bound for the blow-up time is derived if the solution blows up, and explicit criteria to ensure non-blow-up are determined.     

Global existence and blow-up to a degenerate reaction–diffusion system with nonlinear memory

In this paper, we consider a degenerate reaction–diffusion system coupled by nonlinear memory. Under appropriate hypotheses, we prove that the solution either exists globally or blows up in finite time. Furthermore, the blow-up rates are obtained.     

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.

The role of non-linear diffusion in non-simultaneous blow-up

We study a parabolic system of two non-linear reaction-diffusion equations completely coupled through source terms and with power-like diffusivity. Under adequate hypotheses on the initial data, we prove that non-simultaneous blow-up is sometimes possible; i.e., one of the components blows up while the other remains bounded. The conditions for non-simultaneous blow-up rely strongly on the diffusivity parameters and significant differences appear between the fast-diffusion and the porous medium case. Surprisingly, flat (homogeneous in space) solutions are not always a good guide to determine whether non-simultaneous blow-up is possible.     

On directional blow-up for quasilinear parabolic equations with fast diffusion

We discuss blow-up at space infinity of solutions to quasilinear parabolic equations of the form ut=Δ?(u)+f(u) with initial data u₀∈L^∞(RN), where ? and f are nonnegative functions satisfying ?^″?0 and . We study nonnegative blow-up solutions whose blow-up times coincide with those of solutions to the O.D.E. v^′=f(v) with initial data ‖u_0‖L^∞(RN). We prove that such a solution blows up only at space infinity and possesses blow-up directions and that they are completely characterized by behavior of initial data. Moreover, necessary and sufficient conditions on initial data for blow-up at minimal blow-up time are also investigated.

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.

This paper concerns with a nonlinear degenerate parabolic system coupled via nonlocal sources, subjecting to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition.

Asymptotic behavior and blow-up of solutions for infinitely degenerate semilinear parabolic equations with logarithmic nonlinearity

In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem for infinitely degenerate semilinear parabolic equations with logarithmic nonlinearity $u_t?{△}_{X}u=u\log ?|u|$, where $X=(X_1,X_2,?,X_m)$ is an infinitely degenerate system of vector fields, and ${△}_X:={\sum }_{j=1}^m{X}_j^2$ is an infinitely degenerate elliptic operator. Using potential well method, we first prove the invariance of some sets and vacuum isolating of solutions. Then, by the Galerkin method and the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, we obtain the global existence and blow-up at +∞ of solutions with low initial energy or critical initial energy, and we also discuss the asymptotic behavior of the solutions.     

Note on a nonlinear diffusion system with convection

The critical exponents are established for a nonlinear diffusion system with convection, which are described clearly by the signs of two parameters solving the so-called characteristic algebraic system. It is proved that the convection plays an important role in determining the critical properties of solutions in the balance case. This greatly improves the authors’ previous paper for the same model.
