The uniqueness of blow-up solution for radially symmetric semilinear elliptic equation

In this paper we establish a blow up rate of the large positive solutions of the singular boundary value problem -Δu=λu-b(x)u^p,u_|∂Ω=+∞$-\mathrm{\Delta }u=\lambda u-b(x)u^p,u{|}_{\mathrm{\partial }\Omega }=+\infty$ with a ball domain and radially function b(x)$b(x)$. All previous results in the literature assumed the decay rate of b(x)$b(x)$ to be approximated by a distance function near the boundary ∂Ω$\mathrm{\partial }\Omega$. Obtaining the accurate blow up rate of solutions for general b(x)$b(x)$ requires more subtle mathematical analysis of the problem.

Life span of positive solutions for a semilinear heat equation with general non-decaying initial data

We prove upper bounds on the life span of positive solutions for a semilinear heat equation. For non-decaying initial data, it is well known that the solutions blow up in finite time. We give two types estimates of the life span in terms of the limiting values of the initial data in space.     

On blow-up solutions for systems of semilinear heat equations with quadratic nonlinearities

This article deals with blow-up solutions of the Cauchy–Dirichlet problem for system of semilinear heat equations with quadratic non-linearities. Sufficient conditions for the existence of blow-up solutions are established. Sets of initial values for these solutions as well as upper bounds for corresponding blow-up time are determined. Furthermore, an application to the Lotka-Volterra system with diffusion is also discussed. The result of this article may be considered as a continuation and a generalization of the results obtained in (Baris, J., Baris, P. and Ruchlewicz, B., 2006, On blow-up solutions of nonautonomous quadratic differential systems.

Formal solutions of semilinear heat equations

We study formal power series solutions to the initial value problem for semilinear heat equation t_∂u−Δu=f(u) with polynomial nonlinearity f and prove that they belong to the formal Gevrey class G². Next we give counterexamples showing that the solution, in general, is not analytic in time at t=0.     

On noncoercive semilinear equations

In this article some noncoercive semilinear equations are investigated. Here, a subset of a right side for which the corresponding boundary value problems are uniquely solvable is described.     

A note on blow-up of solution for a class of semilinear pseudo-parabolic equations

In this short note, we revisit the blow-up of solution for the initial boundary value problem of semilinear pseudo-parabolic equations with low/critical initial energy stated in Xu and Su (2013) [4], and amend the proofs of the original paper.     

The asymptotic behaviour of solutions with blow-up at the boundary for semilinear elliptic problems

By constructing the comparison functions and the perturbed method, it is showed that any solution u∈C²(Ω) to the semilinear elliptic problems Δu=k(x)g(u), x∈Ω, u_|∂Ω=+∞ satisfies , where Ω is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in RN; , −2<σ, c₀>0, ; g∈C¹[0,∞), g?0 and is increasing on (0,∞), there exists ρ>0 such that , ∀ξ>0, , .     

Determining nodes for semilinear parabolic equations

We are concerned with the determination of the asymptotic behavior of strong solutions to the initial-boundary value problem for general semilinear parabolic equations by the asymptotic behavior of these strong solutions on a finite set. More precisely, if the asymptotic behavior of the strong solution is known on a suitable finite set which is called determining nodes, then the asymptotic behavior of the strong solution itself is entirely determined. We prove the above property by the energy method.     

Null boundary controllability for semilinear heat equations

We consider null boundary controllability for one-dimensional semilinear heat equations. We obtain null boundary controllability results for semilinear equations when the initial data is bounded continuous and sufficiently small. In this work we also prove a version of the nonlinear Cauchy-Kowalevski theorem.W. Littman was partially supported by NSF Grant DMS 90-02919. The results of this paper were presented by Yung-Jen Lin Guo at the P.D.E. seminar at the University of Minnesota on January 27, 1993 and by W. Littman at the First International Conference on Dynamics Systems and Applications held in Atlanta in May 1993.     

Blow up of critical semilinear wave equations on Schwarzschild spacetime

In this paper, we established the blow up theorem for critical semilinear wave equations with focusing nonlinear term on Schwarzschild spacetime. Concavity method is used to prove the main result, which was introduced by Levine–Payne in the papers Levine and Payne (1974)  and  and Levine (1973) [7] in 1970s. Also, a new auxiliary function with parameter β$\beta$ is constructed following the idea from Payne (1975) [13], in order to guarantee that the result holds without any assumption on the initial data and initial energy.     

On well-posedness of semilinear parabolic and elliptic problems in the hyperbolic space

We investigate existence and uniqueness of solutions to semilinear parabolic and elliptic equations in bounded domains of the n-dimensional hyperbolic space (n?3). Lp→Lq estimates for the semigroup generated by the Laplace-Beltrami operator are obtained and then used to prove existence and uniqueness results for parabolic problems. Moreover, under proper assumptions on the nonlinear function, we establish uniqueness of positive classical solutions and nonuniqueness of singular solutions of the elliptic problem; furthermore, for the corresponding semilinear parabolic problem, nonuniqueness of weak solutions is stated.     

On the evolution governed by the infinity Laplacian

We investigate the basic properties of the degenerate and singular evolution equation which is a parabolic version of the increasingly popular infinity Laplace equation. We prove existence and uniqueness results for both Dirichlet and Cauchy problems, establish interior and boundary Lipschitz estimates and a Harnack inequality, and also provide numerous explicit solutions.
