Abstract: | In this article, we study the blow-up phenomena of generalized double dispersion equations u_(tt)-u_(xx)-u_(xxt) + u_(xxxx)-u_(xxtt)= f(u_x)_x.Under suitable conditions on the initial data, we first establish a blow-up result for the solutions with arbitrary high initial energy, and give some upper bounds for blow-up time T~* depending on sign and size of initial energy E(0). Furthermore, a lower bound for blow-up time T~* is determined by means of a differential inequality argument when blow-up occurs. |
