We consider an initial boundary value problem for the non-local equation, ut = uxx+λf(u)/(∫1-1f (u)dx)2, with Robin boundary conditions. It is known that there exists a critical value of the parameter λ, say λ*, such that for λ > λ* there is no stationary solution and the solution u(x, t) blows up globally in finite time t*, while for λ < λ* there exist stationary solutions. We find, for decreasing f and for λ > λ*, upper and lower bounds for t*, by using comparison methods. For f(u) = e−u, we give an asymptotic estimate: t* ∼ tu(λ−λ*)−1/2 for 0 < (λ−λ*) [Lt ] 1, where tu is a constant. A numerical estimate is obtained using a Crank-Nicolson scheme.

We consider the blow up of solution to the initial boundary value problem for the generalized Boussinesq equation with damping term. Under some assumptions we prove that the solution with negative initial energy blows up in finite time

The main purpose of this paper is to obtain some numerical results via the homotopy analysis method for an initial-boundary value problem for a fractional order diffusion equation with a non-local constraint of integral type. Some examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the homotopy analysis method (HAM) in solving non-local time-fractional order initial-boundary value problems. We also give some improvements for the proof of the existence and uniqueness of the solution in a fractional Sobolev space.

We consider an initial boundary value problem for a 2 × 2 system of conservation laws modeling heatless adsorption of a gaseous mixture with two species and instantaneous exchange kinetics, close to the system of chromatography. In this model the velocity is not constant because the sorption effect is taken into account. Exchanging the roles of the x, t variables we obtain a strictly hyperbolic system with a zero eigenvalue. Our aim is to construct a solution with a velocity which blows up at the corresponding characteristic "hyperbolic boundary" {t = 0}.

We are concerned in this paper with the initial boundary value problem for a quasilinear viscoelastic wave equation which is subject to a nonlinear action, to a nonlinear frictional damping, and to a Kelvin-Voigt damping, simultaneously. By utilizing a carefully chosen Lyapunov functional, we establish first by the celebrated convexity argument a finite time blow-up criterion for the initial boundary value problem in question; we prove second by an a priori estimate argument that some solutions to the problem exists globally if the nonlinearity is “weaker,” in a certain sense, than the frictional damping, and if the viscoelastic damping is sufficiently strong.

Abstract Abstract — We have studied the stability of finite-difference schemes approximating initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) for multidimensional parabolic equations with a nonlinear source of a power type. We have obtained simple sufficient input data conditions, in which the solutions of differential and difference problems are globally bounded for all t. It is shown that if these conditions are not satisfied, then the solution can blow-up (go to infinity) in finite time. The lower bound of the blow-up time has been determined. The stability of the difference solution has been proven. In all cases, we used the method of energy inequalities based on the application of the Chaplygin comparison theorem for nonlinear ODEs, Bihari-type inequalities and their discrete analogs.
