Global solutions and blow-up problems for a nonlinear degenerate parabolic system coupled via nonlocal sources

AbstractThis paper concerns with a nonlinear degenerate parabolic system coupled via nonlocal sources, subjecting to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. The main aim of this paper is to study conditions on the global existence and/or blow-up in finite time of solutions, and give the estimates of blow-up rates of blow-up solutions

Blow-up analysis for a doubly nonlinear parabolic system with multi-coupled nonlinearities

This paper deals with the global existence and the global nonexistence of a doubly nonlinear parabolic system coupled via both nonlinear reaction terms and nonlinear boundary flux. The authors first establish a weak comparison principle, then by constructing various upper and lower solutions, some appropriate conditions for global existence and global nonexistence of solutions are determined respectively

Blow-up analysis in a quasilinear parabolic system coupled via nonlinear boundary flux

This paper deals with the blow-up of the solution for a system of evolution pLaplacian equations uit = div(|∇ui p−2∇ui) (i = 1, 2, . . . , k) with nonlinear boundary flux. Under certain conditions on the nonlinearities and data, it is shown that blow-up will occur at some finite time. Moreover, when blow-up does occur, we obtain the upper and lower bounds for the blow-up time. This paper generalizes the previous results

The full Keller--Segel model is well-posed on fairly general domains

In this paper we prove the well-posedness of the full Keller-Segel system, a quasilinear strongly coupled reaction-crossdiffusion system, in the spirit that it always admits a unique local-in-time solution in an adequate function space, provided that the initial values are suitably regular. Apparently, there exists no comparable existence result for the full Keller-Segel system up to now. The proof is carried out for general source terms and is based on recent nontrivial elliptic and parabolic regularity results which hold true even on fairly general spatial domains, combined with an abstract solution theorem for nonlocal quasilinear equations by Amann

Nous considèrons le système de Keller et Segel dans son intégralité, un système quasilinéaire à réaction-diffusion fortement couplé. Le résultat principal montre que ce syst`eme est bien posé, cest-à-dire il admet une solution unique existant localement en temps à valeurs dans un espace fonctionnel approprié, pourvu que les valeurs initiales sont réguliers. Apparemment, il nexiste pas encore des résultats comparables. Pour la demonstration, nous utilisons des résultats récents de régularité elliptique et parabolique applicable à des domaines assez générals, combiné avec un théorème abstrait dAmann concernant les équations quasilinéaires non locales

Spatially hybrid computations for streamer discharges with generic features of pulled fronts: I. Planar fronts

Streamers are the first stage of sparks and lightning; they grow due to a strongly enhanced electric field at their tips; this field is created by a thin curved space charge layer. These multiple scales are already challenging when the electrons are approximated by densities. However, electron density fluctuations in the leading edge of the front and non-thermal stretched tails of the electron energy distribution (as a cause of X-ray emissions) require a particle model to follow the electron motion. As super-particle methods create wrong statistics and numerical artifacts, modeling the individual electron dynamics in streamers is limited to early stages where the total electron number still is limited. The method of choice is a hybrid computation in space where individual electrons are followed in the region of high electric field and low density while the bulk of the electrons is approximated by densities (or fluids). We here develop the hybrid coupling for planar fronts. First, to obtain a consistent flux at the interface between particle and fluid model in the hybrid computation, the widely used classical fluid model is replaced by an extended fluid model. Then the coupling algorithm and the numerical implementation of the spatially hybrid model are presented in detail, in particular, the position of the model interface and the construction of the buffer region. The method carries generic features of pulled fronts that can be applied to similar problems like large deviations in the leading edge of population fronts etc.Comment: 33 pages, 15 figures and 2 table

Blow-up properties for a degenerate parabolic system with nonlinear localized sources

AbstractThis paper deals with blow-up properties for a degenerate parabolic system with nonlinear localized sources subject to the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The main aim of this paper is to study the blow-up rate estimate and the uniform blow-up profile of the blow-up solution. Our conclusions extend the results of [L.L. Du, Blow-up for a degenerate reaction–diffusion system with nonlinear localized sources, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 324 (2006) 304–320]. At the end, the blow-up set and blow up rate with respect to the radial variable is considered when the domain Ω is a ball

Bifurcation diagrams and multiplicity for nonlocal elliptic equations modeling gravitating systems based on Fermi-Dirac statistics

This paper is devoted to multiplicity results of solutions to nonlocal elliptic equations modeling gravitating systems. By considering the case of Fermi-Dirac statistics as a singular perturbation of Maxwell-Boltzmann one, we are able to produce multiplicity results. Our method is based on cumulated mass densities and a logarithmic change of coordinates that allows us to describe the set of all solutions by a non-autonomous perturbation of an autonomous dynamical system. This has interesting consequences in terms of bifurcation diagrams, which are illustrated by a some numerical computations. More specifically, we study a model based on the Fermi function as well as a simplified one for which estimates are easier to establish. The main difficulty comes from the fact that the mass enters in the equation as a parameter which makes the whole problem non-local
