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.

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)     

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.     

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.

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 blow‐up criterion of 3D Navier‐Stokes equation in

In this paper, we prove two results about the blow‐up criterion of the three‐dimensional incompressible Navier‐Stokes equation in the Sobolev space . The first one improves the result of Cortissoz et al. The second deals with the relationship of the blow up in and some critical spaces. Fourier analysis and standard techniques are used.

Non‐rainbow colorings of 3‐, 4‐ and 5‐connected plane graphs

We study vertex‐colorings of plane graphs that do not contain a rainbow face, i.e., a face with vertices of mutually distinct colors. If G is a 3 ‐connected plane graph with n vertices, then the number of colors in such a coloring does not exceed . If G is 4 ‐connected, then the number of colors is at most , and for n≡3(mod8), it is at most . Finally, if G is 5 ‐connected, then the number of colors is at most . The bounds for 3 ‐connected and 4 ‐connected plane graphs are the best possible as we exhibit constructions of graphs with colorings matching the bounds. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.

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.

Edge‐colorings avoiding rainbow stars

We consider an extremal problem motivated by a article of Balogh [J. Balogh, A remark on the number of edge colorings of graphs, European Journal of Combinatorics 27, 2006, 565–573], who considered edge‐colorings of graphs avoiding fixed subgraphs with a prescribed coloring. More precisely, given , we look for n‐vertex graphs that admit the maximum number of r‐edge‐colorings such that at most colors appear in edges incident with each vertex, that is, r‐edge‐colorings avoiding rainbow‐colored stars with t edges. For large n, we show that, with the exception of the case , the complete graph is always the unique extremal graph. We also consider generalizations of this problem.

On the blow‐up phenomena for a 1‐dimensional equation of ion sound waves in a plasma: Analytical and numerical investigation

The initial‐boundary value problem for an equation of ion sound waves in plasma is considered. A theorem on nonextendable solution is proved. The blow‐up phenomena are studied. The sufficient blow‐up conditions and the blow‐up time are analysed 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.

Local well‐posedness and blow‐up criterion for a compressible Navier‐Stokes‐Fourier‐P1 approximate model arising in radiation hydrodynamics

We establish a local well‐posedness and a blow‐up criterion of strong solutions for the compressible Navier‐Stokes‐Fourier‐P1 approximate model arising in radiation hydrodynamics. For the local well‐posedness result, we do not need the assumption on the positivity of the initial density and it may vanish in an open subset of the domain.     

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.     

Blow‐up dynamics of L2−critical inhomogeneous fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation

The purpose of this work is to investigate the blow‐up dynamics of L²?critical focusing inhomogeneous fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation: with 0<b<1. For this, we establish a new compactness lemma related to the equation. By applying this lemma, we study the dynamical behavior for blow‐up solutions for initial data satisfying , where Q is the ground state solution of our problem.     

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.
