This work is concerned with positive classical solutions for a quasilinear parabolic equation with a gradient term and nonlinear boundary flux. We find sufficient conditions for the existence of global and blow-up solutions. Moreover, an upper bound for the ‘blow-up time’, an upper estimate of the ‘blow-up rate’ and an upper estimate of the global solution are given. Finally, some application e...

For a sequence of blow up solutions of the Yamabe equation on non-locally confonformally flat compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension 10 or 11, we establish sharp estimates on its asymptotic profile near blow up points as well as sharp decay estimates of the Weyl tensor and its covariant derivatives at blow up points. If the Positive Mass Theorem held in dimensions 10 and 11, these estimates ...

In this paper we analyze the asymptotic finite time blow-up of solutions to the heat equation with a nonlinear Neumann boundary flux in one space dimension. We perform a detailed examination of the nature of the blow-up, which can occur only at the boundary, and we provide tight upper and lower bounds for the blow-up rate for “arbitrary” nonlinear functions F , subject to very mild restrictions.

We exhibit C∞ type II blow up solutions to the focusing energy critical wave equation in dimension N = 4. These solutions admit near blow up time a decomposiiton u(t, x) = 1 λ N−2 2 (t) (Q+ ε(t))( x λ(t) ) with ‖ε(t), ∂tε(t)‖Ḣ1×L2 ≪ 1 where Q is the extremizing profile of the Sobolev embedding Ḣ → L∗ , and a blow up speed λ(t) = (T − t)e− √ |log(T−t)|(1+o(1)) as t → T.

This work deals with a semilinear parabolic systemwhich is coupled both in the equations and in the boundary conditions. The blow-up phenomena of its positive solutions are studied using the scaling method, the Green function and Schauder estimates. The upper and lower bounds of blow-up rates are then obtained. Moreover we show the influences of the reaction terms and the boundary absorption te...

This paper deals with the blow-up properties of positive solutions to a system of two heat equations ut = ∆u, vt = ∆v in BR× (0, T ) with Neumann boundary conditions ∂u ∂η = e vp , ∂v ∂η = e uq on ∂BR × (0, T ), where p, q > 1, BR is a ball in Rn, η is the outward normal. The upper bounds of blow-up rate estimates were obtained. It is also proved that the blow-up occurs only on the boundary.

Abstract For the Schrödinger flow from R × R to the 2-sphere S, it is not known if finite energy solutions can blow up in finite time. We study equivariant solutions whose energy is near the energy of the family of equivariant harmonic maps. We prove that such solutions remain close to the harmonic maps until the blow up time (if any), and that they blow up if and only if the length scale of th...

We study the blow-up behaviour of two reaction-diiusion problems with a quasilinear degenerate diiusion and a superlinear reaction. We show that in each case the blow-up is self-similar, in contrast to the linear diiusion limit of each in which the diiusion is only approximately self-similar. We then investigate the limit of the self-similar behaviour and describe the transition from a stable m...

Let f M be the blow–up of a complex manifold M along a submanifold X. We determine the integral cohomology ring and obtain a formula for the Chern classes of f M . As applications we determine the cohomology rings for the varieties of complete conics and complete quadrices in 3–space, and justify two enumerative results due to Schubert [S1, §20; §22]. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 1...
