Global existence and blow up of solutions for a completely coupled Fujita type system of reaction-diffusion equations

Joanna Rencławowicz (1998)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We examine the parabolic system of three equations u t - Δu = v p , v t - Δv = w q , w t - Δw = u r , x ∈ N , t > 0 with p, q, r positive numbers, N ≥ 1, and nonnegative, bounded continuous initial values. We obtain global existence and blow up unconditionally (that is, for any initial data). We prove that if pqr ≤ 1 then any solution is global; when pqr > 1 and max(α,β,γ) ≥ N/2 (α, β, γ are defined in terms of p, q, r) then every nontrivial solution exhibits a finite blow up time.

Global existence versus blow up for some models of interacting particles

Piotr Biler, Lorenzo Brandolese (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the global existence and space-time asymptotics of solutions for a class of nonlocal parabolic semilinear equations. Our models include the Nernst-Planck and Debye-Hückel drift-diffusion systems as well as parabolic-elliptic systems of chemotaxis. In the case of a model of self-gravitating particles, we also give a result on the finite time blow up of solutions with localized and oscillating complex-valued initial data, using a method due to S. Montgomery-Smith.
