Blow‐up phenomena for a pseudo‐parabolic equation

By the means of a differential inequality technique, we obtain a lower bound for blow‐up time if p and the initial value satisfy some conditions. Also, we establish a blow‐up criterion and an upper bound for blow‐up time under some conditions as well as a nonblow‐up and exponential decay under some other conditions.

Blow‐up phenomena for a semilinear parabolic equation with weighted inner absorption under nonlinear boundary flux

Blow‐up phenomena for a nonlinear divergence form parabolic equation with weighted inner absorption term are investigated under nonlinear boundary flux in a bounded star‐shaped region. We assume some conditions on weight function and nonlinearities to guarantee that the solution exists globally or blows up at finite time. Moreover, by virtue of the modified differential inequality, upper and lower bounds for the blow‐up time of the solution are derived in higher dimensional spaces. Three examples are presented to illustrate applications of our results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blow‐up rate estimates for a parabolic system with multiple nonlinearities

In this paper, we study the blow‐up behaviors for the solutions of parabolic systems u_t=Δu+δ₁e, v_t=Δv+µ₁u in ?×(0, T) with nonlinear boundary conditions Here δ_i?0, µ_j?0, p_i?0, q_j?0 and at least one of δ_iµ_jp_iq_j>0(i, j=1, 2). We prove that the solutions will blow up in finite time for suitable ‘large’ initial values. The exact blow‐up rates are also obtained. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blow‐up solutions for localized reaction‐diffusion equations with variable exponents

This paper deals with radial solutions to localized reaction‐diffusion equations with variable exponents, subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The global existence versus blow‐up criteria are studied in terms of the variable exponents. We proposed that the maximums of variable exponents are the key clue to determine blow‐up classifications and describe blow‐up rates for positive solutions.

Blow‐up phenomena for a class of fourth‐order nonlinear wave equations with a viscous damping term

This paper deals with the blow‐up phenomena for a class of fourth‐order nonlinear wave equations with a viscous damping term with Ω = (0,1) and α > 0. Here, f(s) is a given nonlinear smooth function. For 0 < α < p – 1, we prove that the blow‐up occurs in finite time for arbitrary positive initial energy and suitable initial data. This result extends the recent results obtained by Xu et al. (Applicable Analysis)(2013) and Chen and Lu (J. Math. Anal. Appl.)(2009). Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blow‐up profiles of solutions for the exponential reaction‐diffusion equation

We consider the blow‐up of solutions for a semilinear reaction‐diffusion equation with exponential reaction term. It is known that certain solutions that can be continued beyond the blow‐up time possess a non‐constant self‐similar blow‐up profile. Our aim is to find the final time blow‐up profile for such solutions. The proof is based on general ideas using semigroup estimates. The same approach works also for the power nonlinearity.

Blow‐up for wave equation with the scale‐invariant damping and combined nonlinearities

In this article, we study the blow‐up of the damped wave equation in the scale‐invariant case and in the presence of two nonlinearities. More precisely, we consider the following equation: $$u_{tt}?\mathrm{\Delta }u+\frac{\mu }{1+t}{u}_t=|u_t{|}^p+|u{|}^q,\text{in}{?}^N\times [0,\infty ),$$ with small initial data. For $\mu <\frac{N(q?1)}{2}$ and μ ∈ (0, μ_?) , where μ_? > 0 is depending on the nonlinearties' powers and the space dimension (μ_? satisfies $(q?1)\left((N+2{\mu }_{?}?1)p?2\right)=4$), we prove that the wave equation, in this case, behaves like the one without dissipation (μ = 0 ). Our result completes the previous studies in the case where the dissipation is given by $\frac{\mu }{{(1+t)}^{\beta }}{u}_t;\beta >1$, where, contrary to what we obtain in the present work, the effect of the damping is not significant in the dynamics. Interestingly, in our case, the influence of the damping term $\frac{\mu }{1+t}{u}_t$ is important.     

Blow‐up analysis for a system of heat equations coupled via nonlinear boundary conditions

In this paper, we study a system of heat equations coupled via nonlinear boundary conditions (1) Here p, q>0. We prove that the solutions always blow up in finite time for non‐trivial and non‐negative initial values. We also prove that the blow‐up occurs only on S_R = ?B_R for Ω = B_R = {x ? ?ⁿ:|x|<R}and under some assumptions on the initial values. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blow‐up phenomena in the model of a space charge stratification in semiconductors: analytical and numerical analysis

The initial‐boundary value problems for a Sobolev equation with exponential nonlinearities, classical, and nonclassical boundary conditions are considered. For this model, which describes processes in crystalline semiconductors, the blow‐up phenomena are studied. The sufficient blow‐up conditions and the blow‐up time are analyzed by the method of the test functions. This analytical a priori information is used in the numerical experiments, which are able to determine the process of the solution's blow‐up more accurately. The model derivation and some questions of local solvability and uniqueness are also discussed. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global and blow‐up of solutions for a quasilinear parabolic system with viscoelastic and source terms

In this work, we consider an initial boundary value problem related to the quasilinear parabolic equation for m ≥ 2,p ≥ 2, A(t) a bounded and positive definite matrix, and g a continuously differentiable decaying function, and prove, under suitable conditions on g and p, a general decay of the energy function for the global solution and a blow‐up result for the solution with both positive and negative initial energy.

Blow‐up solutions to Landau–Lifshitz–Maxwell systems

The Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation describes the evolution of spin fields in continuum ferromagnetics. The present paper consists of two parts. The first one is to prove the local existence of smooth solution to the Landau–Lifshitz–Maxwell systems in dimensions three. The second is to prove the finite time blow up of solutions for these systems. It states that for suitably chosen initial data, the short time smooth solutions to the Landau–Lifshitz–Maxwell equations do blow up at finite time. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blow‐up of solutions for a viscoelastic wave equation with variable exponents

In this paper, we consider a viscoelastic wave equation with variable exponents: where the exponents of nonlinearity p(·) and m(·) are given functions and a,b > 0 are constants. For nonincreasing positive function g, we prove the blow‐up result for the solutions with positive initial energy as well as nonpositive initial energy. We extend the previous blow‐up results to a viscoelastic wave equation with variable exponents.     

Boundedness in a parabolic‐elliptic chemotaxis system with nonlinear diffusion and sensitivity and logistic source

In this paper, we study the zero‐flux chemotaxis‐system where Ω is a bounded and smooth domain of , n≥1, and where , k,μ>0 and α≤1. For any v≥0, the chemotactic sensitivity function is assumed to behave as the prototype χ(v)=χ₀/(1+av)², with a≥0 and χ₀>0. We prove that for any nonnegative and sufficiently regular initial data u(x,0), the corresponding initial‐boundary value problem admits a unique global bounded classical solution if α<1; indeed, for α=1, the same conclusion is obtained provided μ is large enough. Finally, we illustrate the range of dynamics present within the chemotaxis system in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions by means of numerical simulations.     

Klein‐Gordon‐Zakharov system in energy space: Blow‐up profile and subsonic limit

In this paper, we prove finite‐time blowup in energy space for the three‐dimensional Klein‐Gordon‐Zakharov (KGZ) system by modified concavity method. We obtain the blow‐up rates of solutions in local and global space, respectively. In addition, by using the energy convergence, we study the subsonic limit of the Cauchy problem for KGZ system and prove that any finite energy solution converges to the corresponding solution of Klein‐Gordon equation in energy space.     

Blow‐up criterion for two‐dimensional magneto‐micropolar fluid equations with partial viscosity

In this paper, we derive a blow‐up criterion of smooth solutions to the incompressible magneto‐micropolar fluid equations with partial viscosity in two space dimensions. Our proof is based on careful Hölder estimates of heat and transport equations and the standard Littlewood–Paley theory. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Boundedness in a four‐dimensional attraction‐repulsion chemotaxis system with logistic source

In this paper, we study the attraction‐repulsion chemotaxis system with logistic source: u_t = Δu−χ∇·(u∇v)+ξ∇·(u∇w)+f(u), 0 = Δv−βv+αu, 0 = Δw−δw+γu, subject to homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded and smooth domain , where χ,α,ξ,γ,β, and δ are positive constants, and is a smooth function satisfying f(s) ≤ a−bs^3/2 for all s ≥ 0 with a ≥ 0 and b > 0. It is proved that when the repulsion cancels the attraction (ie, ξγ=χα), for any nonnegative initial data , the solution is globally bounded. This result corresponds to the one in the classical 2‐dimensional Keller‐Segel model with logistic source bearing quadric growth restrictions.     

Global existence and bounds for blow‐up time in a class of nonlinear pseudo‐parabolic equations with a memory term

In this article, we consider the initial boundary value problem for a class of nonlinear pseudo‐parabolic equations with a memory term: Under suitable assumptions, we obtain the local and global existence of the solution by Galerkin method. We prove finite‐time blow‐up of the solution for initial data at arbitrary energy level and obtain upper bounds for blow‐up time by using the concavity method. In addition, by means of differential inequality technique, we obtain a lower bound for blow‐up time of the solution if blow‐up occurs.     

Time‐weighted blow‐up rates and pointwise profile for single‐point blow‐up solutions in reaction–diffusion equations

This paper deals with asymptotic behavior for blow‐up solutions to time‐weighted reaction–diffusion equations u_t=Δu+e^αtv^p and v_t=Δv+e^βtu^q, subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary. The time‐weighted blow‐up rates are defined and obtained by ways of the scaling or auxiliary‐function methods for all α, . Aiding by key inequalities between components of solutions, we give lower pointwise blow‐up profiles for single‐point blow‐up solutions. We also study the solutions of the system with variable exponents instead of constant ones, where blow‐up rates and new blow‐up versus global existence criteria are obtained. Time‐weighted functions influence critical Fujita exponent, critical Fujita coefficient and formulae of blow‐up rates, but they do not limit the order of time‐weighted blow‐up rates and pointwise profile near blow‐up time.

In this article, we prove the local existence of a unique solution to a nonlocal in time and space evolution equation with a time nonlocal nonlinearity of exponential growth. Moreover, under some suitable conditions on the initial data, it is shown that local solutions experience blow‐up. The time profile of the blowing‐up solutions is also presented.
