Blow-up and global solutions for nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with nonlinear boundary condition

This paper deals with the blow-up of positive solutions for a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation subject to nonlinear boundary conditions. We obtain the conditions under which the solutions may exist globally or blow up in finite time. Moreover, an upper bound of the blow-up time, an upper estimate of the blow-up rate, and an upper estimate of the global solutions are given. At last we give two examples to which the theorems obtained in the paper may be applied.     

Blow-up rates of radially symmetric large solutions

This paper adapts a technical device going back to [J. López-Gómez, Optimal uniqueness theorems and exact blow-up rates of large solutions, J. Differential Equations 224 (2006) 385-439] to ascertain the blow-up rate of the (unique) radially symmetric large solution given through the main theorem of [J. López-Gómez, Uniqueness of radially symmetric large solutions, Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst., Supplement dedicated to the 6th AIMS Conference, Poitiers, France, 2007, pp. 677-686]. The requested underlying estimates are based upon the main theorem of [S. Cano-Casanova, J. López-Gómez, Existence, uniqueness and blow-up rate of large solutions for a canonical class of one-dimensional problems on the half-line, J. Differential Equations 244 (2008) 3180-3203]. Precisely, we show that if Ω is a ball, or an annulus, f∈C[0,∞) is positive and non-decreasing, V∈C[0,∞)∩C²(0,∞) satisfies V(0)=0, V^′(u)>0, V^″(u)?0, for every u>0, and V(u)∼Hup−1 as u↑∞, for some H>0 and p>1, then, for each λ?0,

Blow-up of smooth solutions to the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type

We show the blow-up of smooth solutions to a non-isothermal model of capillary compressible fluids in arbitrary space dimensions with initial density of compact support. This is an extension of Xin’s result [Xin, Z.: Blow-up of smooth solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with compact density. Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 51, 229–240 (1998)] to the capillary case but we do not need the condition that the entropy is bounded below. Moreover, from the proof of Theorem 1.2, we also obtain the exact relationship between the size of support of the initial density and the life span of the solutions. We also present a sufficient condition on the blow-up of smooth solutions to the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type when the initial density is positive but has a decay at infinity.     

Blow-up solutions of cubic differential systems

We investigate the existence problem for blow-up solutions of cubic differential systems. We find sets of initial values of the blow-up solutions. We also discuss a method of finding upper estimates for the blow-up time of these solutions. Our approach can be applied to systems of partial differential equations. We apply this approach to the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for systems of semilinear heat equations with cubic nonlinearities.

Blow-up of smooth solutions to the compressible magnetohydrodynamic flows

In this paper, we prove the blow-up phenomena of smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem for the full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations and isentropic compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with constant and degenerate viscosities under some restrictions on the initial data. In particular, our results do not require that the initial data have compact support or contain vacuum in any finite region.     

Semidiscretization in Space of Nonlinear Degenerate Parabolic Equations with Blow-up of the Solutions

Semidiscretization in space of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations of nondivergent form is presented, under zero Dirichlet boundary condition. It is shown that semidiscrete solutions blow up in finite time. In particular, the asymptotic behavior of blowing-up solutions, is discussed precisely.     

Blow-up criterion for compressible MHD equations

In this paper, we study the 3D compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. We obtain a blow up criterion for the local strong solutions just in terms of the gradient of the velocity, similar to the Beal-Kato-Majda criterion (see J.T. Beal, T. Kato and A. Majda (1984) [1]) for the ideal incompressible flow. In addition, initial vacuum is allowed in our case.     

Blow-up profiles for positive solutions of nonlocal dispersal equation

In this paper, we study the blow-up profiles of the nonlocal dispersal equation. More precisely, we prove that the positive solution of nonlocal dispersal equation has different blow-up profiles, depending on the refuge domain.     

Blow-up time for solutions to some nonlinear Volterra integral equations

The problem of the estimating of a blow-up time for solutions of Volterra nonlinear integral equation with convolution kernel is studied. New estimates, lower and upper, are found and, moreover, the procedure for the improvement of the lower estimate is presented. Main results are illustrated by examples. The new estimates are also compared with some earlier ones related to a shear band model.

Blow-up solutions to a system of nonlinear Volterra equations

A system of nonlinear Volterra integral equations with convolution kernels is considered. Estimates are given for the blow-up time when conditions are such that the solution is known to become unbounded in finite time. For two examples that arise in combustion problems, numerical estimates of blow-up time are presented. Additionally, the asymptotic behavior of the blow-up solution in the key limit is established for the power-law and exponential nonlinearity cases.     

Blow-up of solutions to the Cauchy problem in nonlinear one-dimensional thermoelasticity

This paper is concerned with the blow-up phenomena of solutions to the Cauchy problem in non-autonomous nonlinear one-dimensional thermoelastic models obeying both Fourier's law of heat flux and the theory due to Gurtin and Pipkin. Moreover some previously related results have been extended.     

Blow-up in nonlinear heat equations

We study the blow-up of solutions of nonlinear heat equations in dimension 1. We show that for an open set of even initial data which are characterized roughly by having maxima at the origin, the solutions blow up in finite time and at a single point. We find the universal blow-up profile and remainder estimates. Our results extend previous results in several directions and our techniques differ from the techniques previously used for this problem. In particular, they do not rely on maximum principle.     

Blow-up phenomena for a family of Burgers-like equations

By introducing a stress multiplier we derive a family of Burgers-like equations. We investigate the blow-up phenomena of the equations both on the real line R and on the circle S to get a comparison with the Degasperis-Procesi equation. On the line R, we first establish the local well-posedness and the blow-up scenario. Then we use conservation laws of the equations to get the estimate for the L^∞-norm of the strong solutions, by which we prove that the solutions to the equations may blow up in the form of wave breaking for certain initial profiles. Analogous results are provided in the periodic case. Especially, we find differences between the Burgers-like equations and the Degasperis-Procesi equation, see Remark 4.1.     

Blow-up of solutions for semilinear heat equation with nonlinear nonlocal boundary condition

In this paper, we consider a semilinear heat equation ut=Δu+c(x,t)up for (x,t)∈Ω×(0,∞) with nonlinear and nonlocal boundary condition and nonnegative initial data where p>0 and l>0. We prove global existence theorem for max(p,l)?1. Some criteria on this problem which determine whether the solutions blow up in a finite time for sufficiently large or for all nontrivial initial data or the solutions exist for all time with sufficiently small or with any initial data are also given.     

Global weak solutions and blow-up structure for the Degasperis-Procesi equation

In this paper we study several qualitative properties of the Degasperis-Procesi equation. We first established the precise blow-up rate and then determine the blow-up set of blow-up strong solutions to this equation for a large class of initial data. We finally prove the existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions to the equation provided the initial data satisfies appropriate conditions.     

Blow-up of positive-initial-energy solutions of a nonlinear viscoelastic hyperbolic equation

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear viscoelastic equation

with initial conditions and Dirichlet boundary conditions. For nonincreasing positive functions g and for p>m, we prove that there are solutions with positive initial energy that blow up in finite time.
