The final goal of this paper is to prove existence of local (strong) solutions to a (fully nonlinear) porous medium equation with blow-up term and nondecreasing constraint. To this end, the equation, arising in the context of Damage Mechanics, is reformulated as a mixed form of two different types of doubly nonlinear evolution equations. Global (in time) solutions to some approximate problems are constructed by performing a time discretization argument and by taking advantage of energy techniques based on specific structures of the equation. Moreover, a variational comparison principle for (possibly non-unique) approximate solutions is established and it also enables us to obtain a local solution as a limit of approximate ones.
We study finite time blow-up and global existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the porous medium equation with a variable density $rho(x)$ and a power-like reaction term. We show that for small enough initial data, if $rho(x)sim frac{1}{left(log|x|right)^{alpha}|x|^{2}}$ as $|x|to infty$, then solutions globally exist for any $p>1$. On the other hand, when $rho(x)simfrac{left(log|x|right)^{alpha}}{|x|^{2}}$ as $|x|to infty$, if the initial datum is small enough then one has global existence of the solution for any $p>m$, while if the initial datum is large enough then the blow-up of the solutions occurs for any $p>m$. Such results generalize those established in [27] and [28], where it is supposed that $rho(x)sim |x|^{-q}$ for $q>0$ as $|x|to infty$.
We study existence of global solutions and finite time blow-up of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the porous medium equation with a variable density $rho(x)$ and a power-like reaction term $rho(x) u^p$ with $p>1$; this is a mathematical model of a thermal evolution of a heated plasma (see [25]). The density decays slowly at infinity, in the sense that $rho(x)lesssim |x|^{-q}$ as $|x|to +infty$ with $qin [0, 2).$ We show that for large enough initial data, solutions blow-up in finite time for any $p>1$. On the other hand, if the initial datum is small enough and $p>bar p$, for a suitable $bar p$ depending on $rho, m, N$, then global solutions exist. In addition, if $p<underline p$, for a suitable $underline pleq bar p$ depending on $rho, m, N$, then the solution blows-up in finite time for any nontrivial initial datum; we need the extra hypotehsis that $qin [0, epsilon)$ for $epsilon>0$ small enough, when $mleq p<underline p$. Observe that $underline p=bar p$, if $rho(x)$ is a multiple of $|x|^{-q}$ for $|x|$ large enough. Such results are in agreement with those established in [41], where $rho(x)equiv 1$. The case of fast decaying density at infinity, i.e. $qgeq 2$, is examined in [31].
We are concerned with nonnegative solutions to the Cauchy problem for the porous medium equation with a variable density $rho(x)$ and a power-like reaction term $u^p$ with $p>1$. The density decays {it fast} at infinity, in the sense that $rho(x)sim |x|^{-q}$ as $|x|to +infty$ with $qge 2.$ In the case when $q=2$, if $p$ is bigger than $m$, we show that, for large enough initial data, solutions blow-up in finite time and for small initial datum, solutions globally exist. On the other hand, in the case when $q>2$, we show that existence of global in time solutions always prevails. The case of {it slowly} decaying density at infinity, i.e. $qin [0,2)$, is examined in [41].
In this note, we prove blow-up results for semilinear wave models with damping and mass in the scale-invariant case and with nonlinear terms of derivative type. We consider the single equation and the weakly coupled system. In the first case we get a blow-up result for exponents below a certain shift of the Glassey exponent. For the weakly coupled system we find as critical curve a shift of the corresponding curve for the weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations with the same kind of nonlinearities. Our approach follows the one for the respective classical wave equation by Zhou Yi. In particular, an explicit integral representation formula for a solution of the corresponding linear scale-invariant wave equation, which is derived by using Yagdjians integral transform approach, is employed in the blow-up argument. While in the case of the single equation we may use a comparison argument, for the weakly coupled system an iteration argument is applied.
We consider a parabolic-type PDE with a diffusion given by a fractional Laplacian operator and with a quadratic nonlinearity of the gradient of the solution, convoluted with a singular term b. Our first result is the well-posedness for this problem: We show existence and uniqueness of a (local in time) mild solution. The main result is about blow-up of said solution, and in particular we find sufficient conditions on the initial datum and on the term b to ensure blow-up of the solution in finite time.
