Liouville theorems, a priori estimates, and blow-up rates for solutions of indefinite superlinear parabolic problems

Juraj Földes (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we establish new nonlinear Liouville theorems for parabolic problems on half spaces. Based on the Liouville theorems, we derive estimates for the blow-up of positive solutions of indefinite parabolic problems and investigate the complete blow-up of these solutions. We also discuss a priori estimates for indefinite elliptic problems.

Liouville-type theorems and asymptotic behavior of nodal radial solutions of semilinear heat equations

Thomas Bartsch, Peter Poláčik, Pavol Quittner (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove a Liouville type theorem for sign-changing radial solutions of a subcritical semilinear heat equation u t = Δ u + u p - 1 u . We use this theorem to derive a priori bounds, decay estimates, and initial and final blow-up rates for radial solutions of rather general semilinear parabolic equations whose nonlinearities have a subcritical polynomial growth. Further consequences on the existence of steady states and time-periodic solutions are also shown.

Local Smoothness of Weak Solutions to the Magnetohydrodynamics Equations via Blowup Methods

Basil Nicolaenko, Alex Mahalov, Timofey Shilkin (2006/2007)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

We demonstrate that there exist no self-similar solutions of the incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in the space L 3 ( R 3 ) . This is a consequence of proving the local smoothness of weak solutions via blowup methods for weak solutions which are locally L 3 . We present the extension of the Escauriaza-Seregin-Sverak method to MHD systems.
