This article is concerned with the existence, uniqueness and numerical approximation of boundary blow up solutions for elliptic PDE’s as ∆u = f(u) where f satisfies the so-called Keller-Osserman condition. We characterize existence of such solutions for non-monotone f . As an example, we construct an infinite family of boundary blow up solutions for the equation ∆u = u(1 + cos u) on a ball. We ...

By using the integral bifurcation method, a generalized Tzitzéica-Dodd-Bullough-Mikhailov (TDBM) equation is studied. Under different parameters, we investigated different kinds of exact traveling wave solutions of this generalized TDBM equation. Many singular traveling wave solutions with blow-up form and broken form, such as periodic blow-up wave solutions, solitary wave solutions of blow-up ...

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...

We define the wonderful compactification of an arrangement of subvarieties. Given a complex nonsingular algebraic variety Y and certain collection G of subvarieties of Y , the wonderful compactification YG can be constructed by a sequence of blow-ups of Y along the subvarieties of the arrangement. This generalizes the Fulton-MacPherson configuration spaces and the wonderful models given by De C...

Abstract: We consider the semilinear wave equation with power nonlinearity in one space dimension. We first show the existence of a blow-up solution with a characteristic point. Then, we consider an arbitrary blow-up solution u(x, t), the graph x 7→ T (x) of its blow-up points and S ⊂ the set of all characteristic points, and show that the S has an empty interior. Finally, given x0 ∈ S, we show...

In an epidemiological study carried out in three textile mills at Ahmedabad, India, 929 workers were examined from the spinning departments. The mean prevalence of byssinosis in the blow section was 29.62%, whereas in the card section it was 37.83%. The concentrations of cotton dust (dust less fly) were high in the blow and card sections (4.00 mg/m3 in the blow and 3.06 mg/m3 in the card sectio...

We study radially symmetric finite time blow-up dynamics for the aggregation equation with degenerate diffusion ut = ∆u m − ∇ · (u ∗ ∇(K ∗ u)) in R, where the kernel K(x) is of power-law form |x|−γ . Depending on m, d, γ and the initial data, the solution exhibits three kinds of blow-up behavior: self-similar with no mass concentrated at the core, imploding shock solution and near-self-similar ...

Abstract. In this paper we concentrate on the analysis of the critical mass blowing-up solutions for the cubic focusing Schrödinger equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions, posed on a plane domain. We bound the blow-up rate from below, for bounded and unbounded domains. If the blow-up occurs on the boundary, the blow-up rate is proved to grow faster than (T − t), the expected one. Moreover,...

We consider the semilinear wave equation with power nonlinearity in one space dimension. We first show the existence of a blow-up solution with a characteristic point. Then, we consider an arbitrary blow-up solution u(x, t), the graph x 7→ T (x) of its blow-up points and S ⊂ R the set of all characteristic points and show that S has an empty interior. Finally, given x0 ∈ S, we show that in self...

We study the behaviour of nonnegative solutions of the reaction-diffusion equation    ut = (u)xx + a(x)up in R× (0, T ), u(x, 0) = u0(x) in R. The model contains a porous medium diffusion term with exponent m > 1, and a localized reaction a(x)up where p > 0 and a(x) ≥ 0 is a compactly supported function. We investigate the existence and behaviour of the solutions of this problem in dependenc...
