Blowup rates for nonlinear heat equations with gradient terms and for parabolic inequalities

Philippe Souplet, Slim Tayachi (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Consider the nonlinear heat equation (E): u t - Δ u = | u | p - 1 u + b | u | q . We prove that for a large class of radial, positive, nonglobal solutions of (E), one has the blowup estimates C ( T - t ) - 1 / ( p - 1 ) | | u ( t ) | | C ( T - t ) - 1 / ( p - 1 ) . Also, as an application of our method, we obtain the same upper estimate if u only satisfies the nonlinear parabolic inequality u t - u x x u p . More general inequalities of the form u t - u x x f ( u ) with, for instance, f ( u ) = ( 1 + u ) l o g p ( 1 + u ) are also treated. Our results show that for solutions of the parabolic inequality, one has essentially the same estimates as for solutions of the ordinary...

Blow-up versus global existence of solutions to aggregation equations

Grzegorz Karch, Kanako Suzuki (2011)

Applicationes Mathematicae

A class of nonlinear viscous transport equations describing aggregation phenomena in biology is considered. General conditions on an interaction potential are obtained which lead either to the existence or to the nonexistence of global-in-time solutions.

Boundary blow-up solutions for a cooperative system involving the p-Laplacian

Li Chen, Yujuan Chen, Dang Luo (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We study necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of nonnegative boundary blow-up solutions to the cooperative system Δ p u = g ( u - α v ) , Δ p v = f ( v - β u ) in a smooth bounded domain of N , where Δ p is the p-Laplacian operator defined by Δ p u = d i v ( | u | p - 2 u ) with p > 1, f and g are nondecreasing, nonnegative C¹ functions, and α and β are two positive parameters. The asymptotic behavior of solutions near the boundary is obtained and we get a uniqueness result for p = 2.
