Blow-up of the Solution for Nonlinear Parabolic Problems
by
W. Y. Chan
Department of Mathematics, Southeast Missouri State University

In this talk, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of the classical solution of the following nonlinear parabolic problem,
xqut=( um) xx+bf( u)   in (0, 1) ×( 0, T) ,

u( x, 0) = u0( x) in [ 0, 1] , u( 0, t) = 0=u( 1, t) for t ∈ ( 0, T),
where m > 1, b is a positive number, q is a nonnegative number, u0( x) is a positive function, and f( u) is a given function. Furthermore, a criterion for u to blow up in a finite time is given.
