Blow-up Estimates for Higher-order Semilinear Parabolic Equations

Blow-up estimates for a semilinear coupled parabolic system

This work deals with a semilinear parabolic systemwhich is coupled both in the equations and in the boundary conditions. The blow-up phenomena of its positive solutions are studied using the scaling method, the Green function and Schauder estimates. The upper and lower bounds of blow-up rates are then obtained. Moreover we show the influences of the reaction terms and the boundary absorption te...

Blow-up at the Boundary for Degenerate Semilinear Parabolic Equations

This paper concerns a superlinear parabolic equation, degenerate in the time derivative. It is shown that the solution may blow up in finite time. Moreover it is proved that for a large class of initial data blow-up occurs at the boundary of the domain when the nonlinearity is no worse than quadratic. Various estimates are obtained which determine the asymptotic behaviour near the blow-up. The ...

The Blow–up Rate for a Semilinear Parabolic Equation with a Nonlinear Boundary Condition

In this paper we obtain the blow-up rate for positive solutions of ut = uxx−λu, in (0, 1)×(0, T ) with boundary conditions ux(1, t) = uq(1, t), ux(0, t) = 0. If p < 2q − 1 or p = 2q − 1, 0 < λ < q, we find that the behaviour of u is given by u(1, t) ∼ (T − t) − 1 2(q−1) and, if λ < 0 and p ≥ 2q − 1, the blow up rate is given by u(1, t) ∼ (T − t) − 1 p−1 . We also characterize the blow-up profil...

Self-Similar Blow-Up in Higher-Order Semilinear Parabolic Equations

We study the Cauchy problem in R × R+ for one-dimensional 2mth-order, m > 1, semilinear parabolic PDEs of the form (Dx = ∂/∂x) ut = (−1) D x u + |u| u, where p > 1, and ut = (−1) D x u + e u with bounded initial data u0(x). Specifically, we are interested in those solutions that blow up at the origin in a finite time T . We show that, in contrast to the solutions of the classical secondorder pa...
