We investigate a nonlocal reaction diffusion equation with absorption under Neumann boundary. We obtain optimal conditions on the exponents of the reaction and absorption terms for the existence of solutions blowing up in finite time, or for the global existence and boundedness of all solutions. For the blowup solutions, we also study the blowup rate estimates and the localization of blowup set. Moreover, we show some numerical experiments which illustrate our results.

In this paper, we prove the global existence and non-existence of solutions of the following problem: RDC{ u t = u xx + u 2 - ∫ u 2 ( x ) d x , x ϵ (0, 1), t > 0, u x (0, t ) = u x (1, t ) = t > 0, u ( x , 0) = u 0 ( x ), x ϵ (0, 1), ∫ 1 0 u ( x, t ) d x = 0, t > 0, Moreover, let u m ( x ) be a stationary solution of problem RDC with m zeros in the interval (0, 1) for m ϵ N , and if we take u 0 ( x ). Then we have that the solution exists globally if 0 < ϵ < 1, and blows up in finite time if ϵ > 1. This result verifies the numerical results of Budd et al . (1993, SIAM Jl appl. Math . 53, 718-742) that the non-zero stationary solutions are unstable.
