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.
