We consider positive solutions of the system $u_t-\Delta u=v^p$; $v_t-\Delta v=u^q$ in a ball or in the whole space, with $p,q>1$. Relatively little is known on the blow-up set for semilinear parabolic systems and, up to now, no result was available for this basic system except for the very special case $p=q$. Here we prove single-point blow-up for a large class of radial decreasing solutions. This in particular solves a problem left open in a paper of A. Friedman and Y. Giga (1987). We also obtain lower pointwise estimates for...

We study necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of nonnegative boundary blow-up solutions to the cooperative system ${\Delta }_{p}u=g(u-\alpha v),{\Delta }_{p}v=f(v-\beta u)$ in a smooth bounded domain of ${ℝ}^N$, where ${\Delta }_p$ is the p-Laplacian operator defined by ${\Delta }_{p}u={div\left(\right|\nabla u|}^{p-2}\nabla u)$ 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.

We study the absence of nonnegative global solutions to parabolic inequalities of the type $u_t\ge -{(-\Delta )}^{\beta /2}u-V\left(x\right)u+h(x,t)u^p$, where ${(-\Delta )}^{\beta /2}$, 0 < β ≤ 2, is the β/2 fractional power of the Laplacian. We give a sufficient condition which implies that the only global solution is trivial if p > 1 is small. Among other properties, we derive a necessary condition for the existence of local and global nonnegative solutions to the above problem for the function V satisfying ${V₊\left(x\right)\sim a\left|x\right|}^{-b}$, where a ≥ 0, b > 0, p > 1 and V₊(x): = maxV(x),0....

We consider solutions of quasilinear equations $u_t=\Delta u^m+u^p$ in ${ℝ}^N$ with the initial data $u_0$ satisfying $0<u_0<M$ and ${lim}_{\left|x\right|\to \infty }{u}_0\left(x\right)=M$ for some constant $M>0$. It is known that if $0<m<p$ with $p>1$, the blow-up set is empty. We find solutions $u$ that blow up throughout ${ℝ}^N$ when $m>p>1$.

Consider the nonlinear heat equation (E): $u_t-\Delta u={\left|u\right|}^{p-1}u+b{\left|\nabla u\right|}^q$. We prove that for a large class of radial, positive, nonglobal solutions of (E), one has the blowup estimates $C₁{(T-t)}^{-1/(p-1)}{\le \left|\right|u\left(t\right)\left|\right|}_{\infty }\le C₂{(T-t)}^{-1/(p-1)}$. Also, as an application of our method, we obtain the same upper estimate if u only satisfies the nonlinear parabolic inequality $u_t-u_{xx}\ge u^p$. More general inequalities of the form $u_t-u_{xx}\ge f\left(u\right)$ with, for instance, $f\left(u\right)=(1+u)lo{g}^p(1+u)$ are also treated. Our results show that for solutions of the parabolic inequality, one has essentially the same estimates as for solutions...

We consider $2m$th-order $(m\ge 2)$ semilinear parabolic equations $u_t=-{\left(-\Delta \right)}^{m}u\pm {\left|u\right|}^{p-1}u$ in ${ℛ}^N\times {ℝ}_{+}$ $(p>1)$, with Dirac’s mass $\delta \left(x\right)$ as the initial function. We show that for $p<p_0=1+2m/N$, the Cauchy problem admits a solution $u(x,t)$ which is bounded and smooth for small $t>0$, while for $p\ge p_0$ such a local in time solution does not exist. This leads to a boundary layer phenomenon in constructing a proper solution via regular approximations.

An abstract semilinear parabolic equation in a Banach space X is considered. Under general assumptions on nonlinearity this problem is shown to generate a bounded dissipative semigroup on $X^{\alpha }$. This semigroup possesses an $(X^{\alpha }-Z)$-global attractor that is closed, bounded, invariant in $X^{\alpha }$, and attracts bounded subsets of $X^{\alpha }$ in a ’weaker’ topology of an auxiliary Banach space Z. The abstract approach is finally applied to the scalar parabolic equation in Rⁿ and to the partly dissipative system. ...

This paper provides blow up results of Fujita type for a reaction-diffusion system of 3 equations in the form $uₜ-\Delta \left(a_{11}u\right)=h(t,x){\left|v\right|}^p$, $vₜ-\Delta \left(a_{21}u\right)-\Delta \left(a_{22}v\right)=k(t,x){\left|w\right|}^q$, $wₜ-\Delta \left(a_{31}u\right)-\Delta \left(a_{32}v\right)-\Delta \left(a_{33}w\right)=l(t,x){\left|u\right|}^r$, for $x\in {ℝ}^N$, t > 0, p > 0, q > 0, r > 0, $a_{ij}=a_{ij}(t,x,u,v)$, under initial conditions u(0,x) = u₀(x), v(0,x) = v₀(x), w(0,x) = w₀(x) for $x\in {ℝ}^N$, where u₀, v₀, w₀ are nonnegative, continuous and bounded functions. Subject to conditions on dependence on the parameters p, q, r, N and the growth of the functions h, k, l at infinity, we prove finite blow up time for every solution of the...

In this paper we examine self-similar solutions to the system $u_{it}-d_i\Delta u_i={\prod }_{k=1}^m{u}_k^{p_k^i}$, i = 1,…,m, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, t > 0, $u_i(0,x)=u_{0i}\left(x\right)$, i = 1,…,m, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, where m > 1 and $p_k^i>0$, to describe asymptotics near the blow up point.

We investigate isometric composition operators on the weighted Dirichlet space ${𝒟}_{\alpha }$ with standard weights ${(1-|z|}^2{)}^{\alpha }$, $\alpha >-1$. The main technique used comes from Martín and Vukotić who completely characterized the isometric composition operators on the classical Dirichlet space $𝒟$. We solve some of these but not in general. We also investigate the situation when ${𝒟}_{\alpha }$ is equipped with another equivalent norm.

In this paper, we consider a class of initial-boundary value problems for quasilinear PDEs, subject to the dynamic boundary conditions. Each initial-boundary problem is denoted by (S)${}_{\epsilon }$ with a nonnegative constant $\epsilon$, and for any $\epsilon \ge 0$, (S)${}_{\epsilon }$ can be regarded as a vectorial transmission system between the quasilinear equation in the spatial domain $\Omega$, and the parabolic equation on the boundary $\Gamma :=\partial \Omega$, having a sufficient smoothness. The objective of this study is to establish a mathematical method,...

Let $u\in L^2(I;H^1\left(\Omega \right))$ with ${\partial }_{t}u\in L^2(I;H^1{\left(\Omega \right)}^{*})$ be given. Then we show by means of a counter-example that the positive part $u^{+}$ of $u$ has less regularity, in particular it holds ${\partial }_t{u}^{+}\notin L^1(I;H^1{\left(\Omega \right)}^{*})$ in general. Nevertheless, $u^{+}$ satisfies an integration-by-parts formula, which can be used to prove non-negativity of weak solutions of parabolic equations.

We investigate the existence of renormalized solutions for some nonlinear parabolic problems associated to equations of the form ⎧$\partial (e^{\beta u}-1)/\partial t-{div\left(\right|\nabla u|}^{p-2}\nabla u)+div(c(x,t){\left|u\right|}^{s-1}u)+b(x,t){\left|\nabla u\right|}^r=f$ in Q = Ω×(0,T), ⎨ u(x,t) = 0 on ∂Ω ×(0,T), ⎩ $(e^{\beta u}-1)(x,0)=(e^{\beta u₀}-1)\left(x\right)$ in Ω. with s = (N+2)/(N+p) (p-1), $c(x,t)\in {\left(L^{\tau }\left(QT\right)\right)}^N$, τ = (N+p)/(p-1), r = (N(p-1) + p)/(N+2), $b(x,t)\in L^{N+2,1}\left(QT\right)$ and f ∈ L¹(Q).

In this paper, the Cauchy problem for the $3D$ Leray-$\alpha$-MHD model is investigated. We obtain the logarithmically improved blow-up criterion of smooth solutions for the Leray-$\alpha$-MHD model in terms of the magnetic field $B$ only in the framework of homogeneous Besov space with negative index.

We consider the Cauchy problem for the focusing Hartree equation $i{u}_t+\Delta u+{\left(\right|·|}^{-3}\ast \left|u\right|²)u=0$ in ℝ⁵ with initial data in H¹, and study the divergence property of infinite-variance and nonradial solutions. For the ground state solution of $-Q+\Delta Q+\left(\right|·{|}^{-3}\ast \left|Q\right|²)Q=0$ in ℝ⁵, we prove that if u₀ ∈ H¹ satisfies M(u₀)E(u₀) < M(Q)E(Q) and ||∇u₀||₂||u₀||₂ > ||∇Q||₂||Q||₂, then the corresponding solution u(t) either blows up in finite forward time, or exists globally for positive time and there exists a time sequence tₙ → ∞ such that ||∇u(tₙ)||₂...

For a proper local embedding between two Deligne-Mumford stacks $Y$ and $X$, we find, under certain mild conditions, a new (possibly non-separated) Deligne-Mumford stack $X^{\text{'}}$, with an etale, surjective and universally closed map to the target $X$, and whose fiber product with the image of the local embedding is a finite union of stacks with corresponding etale, surjective and universally closed maps to $Y$. Moreover, a natural set of weights on the substacks of $X^{\text{'}}$ allows the construction of a universally...

We study the chemotaxis system with singular sensitivity and logistic-type source: $u_t=\Delta u-\chi \nabla ·(u\nabla v/v)+ru-\mu u^k$, $0=\Delta v-v+u$ under the non-flux boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$, $\chi ,r,\mu >0$, $k>1$ and $n\ge 1$. It is shown with $k\in (1,2)$ that the system possesses a global generalized solution for $n\ge 2$ which is bounded when $\chi >0$ is suitably small related to $r>0$ and the initial datum is properly small, and a global bounded classical solution for $n=1$.
