Global existence and blow-up of solutions for the heat equation with exponential nonlinearity

We are concerned with the existence of global in time solution for a semilinear heat equation with exponential nonlinearity

(P)$\{\begin{array}{cc}{?}_{t}u=\mathrm{\Delta }u+e^u,\hfill & x\in {\mathbf{R}}^N,t>0,\hfill \\ u(x,0)=u_0(x),\hfill & x\in {\mathbf{R}}^N,\hfill \end{array}$

where $u_0$ is a continuous initial function. In this paper, we consider the case where $u_0$ decays to ?∞ at space infinity, and study the optimal decay bound classifying the existence of global in time solutions and blowing up solutions for (P). In particular, we point out that the optimal decay bound for $u_0$ is related to the decay rate of forward self-similar solutions of ${?}_{t}u=\mathrm{\Delta }u+e^u$.     

On the global existence and finite time blow-up of shadow systems

Shadow systems are often used to approximate reaction-diffusion systems when one of the diffusion rates is large. In this paper, we study the global existence and blow-up phenomena for shadow systems. Our results show that even for these fundamental aspects, there are serious discrepancies between the dynamics of the reaction-diffusion systems and that of their corresponding shadow systems.     

Global existence and blow-up of solutions for a system of Petrovsky equations

The initial-boundary value problem for a system of Petrovsky equations with memory and nonlinear source terms in bounded domain is studied. The existence of global solutions for this problem is proved by constructing a stable set, and obtain the exponential decay estimate of global solutions. Meanwhile, under suitable conditions on relaxation functions and the positive initial energy as well as non-positive initial energy, it is proved that the solutions blow up in the finite time and the lifespan estimates of solutions are also given.     

Uniqueness of weak solutions for a pseudo-parabolic equation modeling two phase flow in porous media

In this paper, we prove the uniqueness of weak solutions for a pseudo-parabolic equation modeling two-phase flow in a porous medium, where dynamic effects are included in the capillary pressure. We transform the equation into an equivalent system, and then prove the uniqueness of weak solutions to the system which leads to the uniqueness of weak solutions for the original model.     

Asymptotic behavior and blow-up of solutions for infinitely degenerate semilinear parabolic equations with logarithmic nonlinearity

In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem for infinitely degenerate semilinear parabolic equations with logarithmic nonlinearity $u_t?{△}_{X}u=u\log ?|u|$, where $X=(X_1,X_2,?,X_m)$ is an infinitely degenerate system of vector fields, and ${△}_X:={\sum }_{j=1}^m{X}_j^2$ is an infinitely degenerate elliptic operator. Using potential well method, we first prove the invariance of some sets and vacuum isolating of solutions. Then, by the Galerkin method and the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, we obtain the global existence and blow-up at +∞ of solutions with low initial energy or critical initial energy, and we also discuss the asymptotic behavior of the solutions.     

Existence and blow-up of solutions for a porous medium equation with nonlocal boundary condition

In this article, a porous medium equation with nonlocal boundary condition and a localized source is studied. The results of the existence of global solutions or blow-up of solutions are given. The blow-up rate estimates are also obtained under some conditions.     

On local existence and blowup of solutions for a time‐space fractional diffusion equation with exponential nonlinearity

In this paper, we are concerned with local existence and blowup of a unique solution to a time‐space fractional evolution equation with a time nonlocal nonlinearity of exponential growth. At first, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the local solution by the Banach contraction mapping principle. Then, the blowup result of the solution in finite time is established by the test function method with a judicious choice of the test function.     

Large time behavior of solutions to the nonlinear pseudo-parabolic equation

In this paper, we investigate the initial value problem for the nonlinear pseudo-parabolic equation. Global existence and optimal decay estimate of solution are established, provided that the initial value is suitably small. Moreover, when n?2$n?2$ and the nonlinear term f(u)$f(u)$ disappears, we prove that the global solutions can be approximated by the linear solution as time tends to infinity. When n=1$n=1$ and the nonlinear term f(u)$f(u)$ disappears, we show that as time tends to infinity, the global solution approaches the nonlinear diffusion wave described by the self-similar solution of the viscous Burgers equation.     

Global existence,asymptotic stability and blow-up of solutions for the generalized Boussinesq equation with nonlinear boundary condition

In this paper, we consider initial boundary value problem of the generalized Boussinesq equation with nonlinear interior source and boundary absorptive terms. We establish firstly the local existence of solutions by standard Galerkin method. Then we prove both the global existence of the solution and a general decay of the energy functions under some restrictions on the initial data. We also prove a blow-up result for solutions with positive and negative initial energy respectively.     

Finite time blow-up and global solutions for a class of semilinear parabolic equations at high energy level

Dispersive blow-up for solutions of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

The main purpose here is the study of dispersive blow-up for solutions of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. Dispersive blow-up refers to point singularities due to the focusing of short or long waves. We will construct initial data such that solutions of the linear problem present this kind of singularities. Then we show that the corresponding solutions of the nonlinear problem present dispersive blow-up inherited from the linear component part of the equation. Similar results are obtained for the generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation.
