We study positive solutions of a very fast diffusion equation, ut = (um−1ux)x, m < 0, in a bounded interval, 0 < x < L, with a quenching-type boundary condition at one end, u (0, t) = (T − t)1/(1 − m) and a zero-flux boundary condition at the other, (um −1ux)(L, t) = 0. We prove that for m ≥ −1 regional quenching is not possible: the quenching set is either a single point or the whole interval. Conversely, if m < −1 single-point quenching is impossible, and quenching is either regional or global. For some lengths the above facts depend on the initial data. The results are obtained by studying the corresponding blow-up problem for the variable v = um −1.

We consider the dead-core problem for the fast diffusion equation with spatially dependent coefficient and obtain precise estimates on the single-point final dead-core profile. The proofs rely on maximum principle and require much delicate computation.

We consider the dead-core problem for the fast diffusion equation with spatially dependent coefficient and show that the temporal dead-core rate is non-self-similar. The proof is based on the standard compactness arguments with the uniqueness of the self-similar solutions and the precise estimates on the single-point final dead-core profile.

This paper deals with the extinction and nonextinction properties of the fast diffusion equation of homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition in a bounded domain ofRNwithN>2. For0<m<1, under appropriate hypotheses, we show thatm=pis the critical exponent of extinction for the weak solution. Furthermore, we prove that the solution either extinct or nonextinct in finite time depends strongly on the initial data and the first eigenvalue of-Δwith homogeneous Dirichlet boundary.

AbstractLet n ⩾ 3 and 0 < m < (n − 2)/n. We extend the results of Vazquez and Winkler (2011, J. Evol. Equ. 11, no. 3, 725–742) and prove the uniqueness of finite points blow-up solutions of the fast diffusion equation ut = Δum in both bounded domains and ℝn × (0, ∞). We also construct initial data such that the corresponding solution of the fast diffusion equation in bounded domain oscillates between infinity and some positive constant as t → ∞.

In this paper, we study numerical approximations for positive solutions of a semilinear heat equations, $u_{t}=u_{xx}+u^{p}$, in a bounded interval $(0,1)$, with a nonlinear flux boundary condition at the boundary $u_{x}(0,t)=0$, $u_{x}(1,t)=-u^{-q}(1,t)$. By a semi-discretization using finite difference method, we get a system of ordinary differential equations which is expected to be an approximation of the original problem. We obtain some conditions under which the positive solution of our system quenches or blows up in a finite time and estimate its semidiscrete blow-up and quenching time. We also estimate the semidiscrete blow-up and quenching rate. Finally, we give some numerical results to illustrate our analysis.
