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 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.

Local well‐posedness and blow‐up criteria of solutions for a rod equation

In this paper we consider a new rod equation derived recently by Dai [Acta Mech. 127 No. 1–4, 193–207 (1998)] for a compressible hyperelastic material. We establish local well‐posedness for regular initial data and explore various sufficient conditions of the initial data which guarantee the blow‐up in finite time both for periodic and non‐periodic case. Moreover, the blow‐up time and blow‐up rate are given explicitly. Some interesting examples are given also. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Global and blow‐up solutions for non‐linear degenerate parabolic systems

In this paper the degenerate parabolic system u_t=u(u_xx+av). vt=v(v_xx+bu) with Dirichlet boundary condition is studied. For , the global existence and the asymptotic behaviour (α₁=α₂) of solution are analysed. For , the blow‐up time, blow‐up rate and blow‐up set of blow‐up solution are estimated and the asymptotic behaviour of solution near the blow‐up time is discussed by using the ‘energy’ method.

A blow‐up result for Kirchhoff‐type equations with high energy

In this paper, we consider the following Kirchhoff type equation: with initial condition and zero Dirichlet boundary condition. We established sufficient conditions on the initial data with arbitrarily high energy such that the solution blows up in finite time. This result generalizes and improves the earlier results in the literature. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On the decay and blow‐up of solution for coupled nonlinear wave equations with nonlinear damping and source terms

In this work, we consider a nonlinear coupled wave equations with initial‐boundary value conditions and nonlinear damping and source terms. Under suitable assumptions on the damping terms and source terms and initial data in the stable set, we obtain that the decay estimates of the energy function is exponential or polynomial by using Nakao's method. By using the energy method, we obtain the blow‐up result of solution with some positive or nonpositive initial energy. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Global solutions and blow‐up problems to a porous medium system with nonlocal sources and nonlocal boundary conditions

This paper deals with a porous medium system with nonlocal sources and weighted nonlocal boundary conditions. The main aim of this paper is to study how the reaction terms, the diffusion terms, and the weight functions in the boundary conditions affect the global and blow‐up properties to a porous medium system. The conditions on the global existence and blow‐up in finite time for nonnegative solutions are given. Furthermore, the blow‐up rate estimates of the blow‐up solutions are also established.

Numerical blow‐up for the porous medium equation with a source

We study numerical approximations of positive solutions of the porous medium equation with a nonlinear source, where m > 1, p > 0 and L > 0 are parameters. We describe in terms of p, m, and L when solutions of a semidiscretization in space exist globally in time and when they blow up in a finite time. We also find the blow‐up rates and the blow‐up sets, proving that there is no regional blow‐up for the numerical scheme. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Possibility of the existence of blow‐up solutions to quasilinear degenerate Keller–Segel systems of parabolic–parabolic type

This paper deals with the quasilinear ‘degenerate’ Keller–Segel system of parabolic–parabolic type under the super‐critical condition. In the ‘non‐degenerate’ case, Winkler (Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 2010; 33:12–24) constructed the initial data such that the solution blows up in either finite or infinite time. However, the blow‐up under the super‐critical condition is left as an open question in the ‘degenerate’ case. In this paper, we try to give an answer to the question under assuming the existence of local solutions. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A compact adaptive approach for degenerate singular reaction‐diffusion equations

This article concerns a compact adaptive method for the numerical solution of nonlinear degenerate singular reaction‐diffusion equations. The partial differential equation problems exhibit strong quenching blow‐up type singularities, and are critical in numerous applications ranging from optimized internal combustion designs to oil pipeline decay predictions. Adaptive schemes of fourth order in space and second order in time are acquired and discussed. Nonuniform spatial and temporal grids are utilized through suitable adaptations. Rigorous analysis is given for the numerical stability, and computational experiments are performed to illustrate our conclusions.     

A note on blow‐up for fast diffusive p‐Laplacian with sources

In this note we improve the result of Theorem 3.1 in Yin and Jin (Math. Meth. Appl. Sci. 2007; 30 (10):1147–1167) and establish a blow‐up result for certain solution with positive initial energy. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Asymptotic analysis and estimates of blow‐up time for the radial symmetric semilinear heat equation in the open‐spectrum case

We estimate the blow‐up time for the reaction diffusion equation u_t=Δu+ λf(u), for the radial symmetric case, where f is a positive, increasing and convex function growing fast enough at infinity. Here λ>λ^*, where λ^* is the ‘extremal’ (critical) value for λ, such that there exists an ‘extremal’ weak but not a classical steady‐state solution at λ=λ^* with ∥w(?, λ)∥_∞→∞ as 0<λ→λ^*?. Estimates of the blow‐up time are obtained by using comparison methods. Also an asymptotic analysis is applied when f(s)=e^s, for λ?λ^*?1, regarding the form of the solution during blow‐up and an asymptotic estimate of blow‐up time is obtained. Finally, some numerical results are also presented. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Multiplicity of positive solutions to boundary blow‐up problem with variable exponent and sign‐changing weights

In this paper, we consider the elliptic boundary blow‐up problem where Ω is a bounded smooth domain of are positive continuous functions supported in disjoint subdomains Ω₊,Ω_? of Ω, respectively, a ₊ vanishes on the boundary of satisfies p (x )≥1 in Ω,p (x ) > 1 on ? Ω and , and ε is a parameter. We show that there exists ε ^?>0 such that no positive solutions exist when ε > ε ^?, while a minimal positive solution u _ε exists for every ε ∈(0,ε ^?). Under the additional hypotheses that is a smooth N ? 1‐dimensional manifold and that a ₊,a _? have a convenient decay near Γ, we show that a second positive solution v _ε exists for every ε ∈(0,ε ^?) if , where N ^?=(N + 2)/(N ? 2) if N > 2 and if N = 2. Our results extend that of Jorge Garcá‐Melián in 2011, where the case that p > 1 is a constant and a ₊>0 on ? Ω is considered. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Analytic approximation of the blow‐up time for nonlinear differential equations by the ADM–Padé technique

We present a new approach to calculate analytic approximations of blow‐up solutions and their critical blow‐up times. Our approach applies the Adomian decomposition–Padé method to quickly and easily compute the critical blow‐up times, which comprises the Adomian decomposition method combined with the Padé approximants technique. We validate our new approach with a variety of numerical examples, including nonlinear ODEs, systems of nonlinear ODEs, and nonlinear PDEs. Furthermore, our new method is shown to be more convenient than prior art that relies on compound discretized algorithms. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
