Abstract In this paper, we establish several Liouville type theorems for entire solutions to fractional parabolic equations. We first obtain the key ingredients needed in the proof of Liouville theorems, such as narrow region principles and maximum principles for antisymmetric functions in unbounded domains, in which we remarkably weaken the usual decay condition u → 0 u\to 0 at infinity to a polynomial growth on 𝑢 by constructing proper auxiliary functions. Then we derive monotonicity for the solutions in a half space R + n × R \mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}\times\mathbb{R} and obtain some new connections between the nonexistence of solutions in a half space R + n × R \mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}\times\mathbb{R} and in the whole space R n - 1 × R \mathbb{R}^{n-1}\times\mathbb{R} and therefore prove the corresponding Liouville type theorems. To overcome the difficulty caused by the nonlocality of the fractional Laplacian, we introduce several new ideas which will become useful tools in investigating qualitative properties of solutions for a variety of nonlocal parabolic problems.

As a class of Lévy type Markov generators, nonlocal Waldenfels operators appear naturally in the context of investigating stochastic dynamics under Lévy fluctuations and constructing Markov processes with boundary conditions (in particular the construction with jumps). This work is devoted to prove the weak and strong maximum principles for ‘parabolic’ equations with nonlocal Waldenfels operators. Applications in stochastic differential equations with [Formula: see text]-stable Lévy processes are presented to illustrate the maximum principles.

AbstractLet u(x, t) be a smooth function in the domain Q = Ω × (0, L), Ω in n, let Du be the spatial gradient of u(x, t) and let ∇u = (Du, u1). If u(x, t) satisfies the parabolic equation F(u, Du, D2u) = ut, we define w(x, t) by g(w) = │∇u│−1G(∇u) (g is positive and decreasing, G is concave and homogeneous of degree one) and we prove that w(x, t) attains its maximum value on the parabolic boundary of Q. If u(x, t) satisfies the equation Δu + 2h(q2) uiujuij = ut(q2 = │Du│2, 1 + 2q2h(q2) > 0) we prove that qf (u) takes its maximum value on the parabolic boundary of Q provided f satisfies a suitable condition. If u(x, t) satisfies the parabolic equation aij (Du)uij − b(x, t, u, Du) = ut (b is concave with respect to (x, t, u)) we define C(x, y, t, τ) = u(z, θ) − αu(x, t) − βu(y, τ) (0 < α, 0 < β, α + β = 1, z αx +y, θ = αt + βτ) and we prove that if C(x, y, t, r) ≤0 when x, y, z ∈ Ω2 and one of t, τ = 0, and when t, τ ∈ (0, L], and one of x, y, z, ∈ ∂Ω, then it is C(x, y, t, τ) ≤0 everywhere.

Abstract This paper is devoted to discussing the blow-up problem of the positive solution of the following degenerate parabolic equations: ( r ( u ) ) t = div ( ∣ ∇ u ∣ p ∇ u ) + f ( x , t , u , ∣ ∇ u ∣ 2 ) , ( x , t ) ∈ D × ( 0 , T ∗ ) , ∂ u ∂ ν + σ u = 0 , ( x , t ) ∈ ∂ D × ( 0 , T ∗ ) , u ( x , 0 ) = u 0 ( x ) , x ∈ D ¯ . \left\{\begin{array}{ll}{(r\left(u))}_{t}={\rm{div}}(| \nabla u{| }^{p}\nabla u)+f\left(x,t,u,| \nabla u\hspace{-0.25em}{| }^{2}),& \left(x,t)\in D\times \left(0,{T}^{\ast }),\\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu }+\sigma u=0,& \left(x,t)\in \partial D\times \left(0,{T}^{\ast }),\\ u\left(x,0)={u}_{0}\left(x),& x\in \overline{D}.\end{array}\right. Here p > 0 p\gt 0 , the spatial region D ⊂ R n ( n ≥ 2 ) D\subset {{\mathbb{R}}}^{n}\hspace{0.33em}\left(n\ge 2) is bounded, and its boundary ∂ D \partial D is smooth. We give the conditions that cause the positive solution of this degenerate parabolic problem to blow up. At the same time, for the positive blow-up solution of this problem, we also obtain an upper bound of the blow-up time and an upper estimate of the blow-up rate. We mainly carry out our research by means of maximum principles and first-order differential inequality technique.
