Five types of blow-up patterns that can occur for the 4th-order semilinear parabolic equation of reaction-diffusion type ut = −∆2u+ |u|p−1u in R × (0, T ), p > 1, limt→T− supx∈RN |u(x, t)| = +∞, are discussed. For the semilinear heat equation ut = ∆u+ u , various blow-up patterns were under scrutiny since 1980s, while the case of higher-order diffusion was studied much less, regardless a wide r...

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.

We study the asymptotic behavior of a semidiscrete numerical approximation for a pair of heat equations ut = ∆u, vt = ∆v in Ω × (0, T ); fully coupled by the boundary conditions ∂u ∂η = up11vp12 , ∂v ∂η = up21vp22 on ∂Ω× (0, T ), where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in Rd. We focus in the existence or not of non-simultaneous blow-up for a semidiscrete approximation (U, V ). We prove that if U blo...
