Damped wave equations and the heat equation
We classify the global behavior of weak solutions of the Keller-Segel system of degenerate and nondegenerate type. For the stronger degeneracy, the weak solution exists globally in time and has a uniform time decay under some extra conditions. If the degeneracy is weaker, the solution exhibits a finite time blow up if the data is nonnegative. The situation is very similar to the semilinear case. Some additional discussion is also presented.
In questo lavoro si studia un problema di valori al contorno parabolico non lineare che si incontra nello studio dell'infiltrazione di un gas in un mezzo poroso. Si stabiliscono condizioni sui dati che determinano un comportamento di tipo esponenziale decrescente nel tempo per la soluzione e il suo gradiente. Si costruiscono inoltre stime esplicite.
We consider an initial boundary value problem for the equation . We first prove local and global existence results under suitable conditions on f and g. Then we show that weak solutions decay either algebraically or exponentially depending on the rate of growth of g. This result improves and includes earlier decay results established by the authors.
