Similarity stabilizes blow-up

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

The blow-up of solutions to a quasilinear heat equation is studied using a similarity transformation that turns the equation into a nonlocal equation whose steady solutions are stable. This allows energy methods to be used, instead of the comparison principles used previously. Among the questions discussed are the time and location of blow-up of perturbations of the steady blow-up profile.

The problems of blow-up for nonlinear heat equations. Complete blow-up and avalanche formation

Similarity:

We review the main mathematical questions posed in blow-up problems for reaction-diffusion equations and discuss results of the author and collaborators on the subjects of continuation of solutions after blow-up, existence of transient blow-up solutions (so-called peaking solutions) and avalanche formation as a mechanism of complete blow-up.
