Blow-up Estimates for Higher-order Semilinear Parabolic Equations

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...

Blow up for the Semilinear Wave Equation in Schwarzschild Metric

We study the semilinear wave equation in Schwarzschild metric (3 + 1 dimensional space time). First, we establish that the problem is locally well posed in H for any σ > 1; then we prove the blow up of the solution for every p > 1 and non negative initial data. The work is dedicated to prof. Yvonne Choquet Bruhat in occasion of her 80th year.

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 ...

On Blow-up at Space Infinity for Semilinear Heat Equations

We are interested in solutions of semilinear heat equations which blow up at space infinity. In [7], we considered a nonnegative blowing up solution of ut = ∆u+ u, x ∈ R, t > 0 with initial data u0 satisfying 0 ≤ u0(x) ≤ M, u0 ≡ M and lim |x|→∞0 = M, where p > 1 and M > 0 is a constant. We proved in [7] that the solution u blows up exactly at the blow-up time for the spatially constant solution...
