In the present work, we establish an optimal estimate for the electric potential difference between closely adjacent spherical perfect conductors in n dimensional space (n ≥ 2). This result indicates that electric fields blow up as a pair of spherical perfect conductors approach each other, and provides the lower bound with the optimal blowup rate which was recently established by Bao, Li and Y...

In the paper, several problems on the periodic Degasperis-Procesi equation with weak dissipation are investigated. At first, the local well-posedness of the equation is established by Kato’s theorem and a precise blow-up scenario of the solutions is given. Then, several criteria guaranteeing the blow-up of the solutions are presented. Moreover, the blow-up rate and blow-up set of the blowing-up...

We consider the 1D nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with focusing point nonlinearity, (0.1) i∂tψ + ∂ 2 xψ + δ|ψ|p−1ψ = 0, where δ = δ(x) is the delta function supported at the origin. In the L supercritical setting p > 3, we construct self-similar blow-up solutions belonging to the energy space Lx ∩Ḣ x. This is reduced to finding outgoing solutions of a certain stationary profile equation. ...

For some deterministic nonlinear PDEs on the torus whose solutions may blow up in finite time, we show that, under suitable conditions term, blow-up is delayed by multiplicative noise of transport type a certain scaling limit. The main result applied to 3D Keller–Segel, Fisher–KPP, and 2D Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equations, yielding long-time existence for large initial data with high probability.

In this paper, we study the solution of an initial boundary value problem for a quasilinear parabolic equation with a nonlinear boundary condition. We first show that any positive solution blows up in finite time. For a monotone solution, we have either the single blow-up point on the boundary, or blow-up on the whole domain, depending on the parameter range. Then, in the single blow-up point c...

There are many nonlinear parabolic equations whose solutions develop singularity in finite time, say T. In many cases, a certain norm of the solution tends to infinity as time t approaches T. Such a phenomenon is called blow-up, and T is called the blow-up time. This paper is concerned with approximation of blow-up phenomena in nonlinear parabolic equations. For numerical computations or for ot...
