Global existence and blow-up results for p-Laplacian parabolic problems under nonlinear boundary conditions

Abstract

Abstract This paper is devoted to studying the global existence and blow-up results for the following p-Laplacian parabolic problems: {(h(u))t=∇⋅(|∇u|p−2∇u)+f(u)in D×(0,t∗),∂u∂n=g(u)on ∂D×(0,t∗),u(x,0)=u0(x)≥0in D‾. $$\textstyle\begin{cases} (h(u) )_{t} =\nabla\cdot (|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u )+f(u) &\mbox{in } D\times(0,t^{*}), \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial n}=g(u) &\mbox{on } \partial D\times (0,t^{*}), \\ u(x,0)=u_{0}(x)\geq0 & \mbox{in } \overline{D}. \end{cases} $$ Here p>2 $p>2$, the spatial region D in RN $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ ( N≥2 $N\geq2$) is bounded, and ∂D is smooth. We set up conditions to ensure that the solution must be a global solution or blows up in some finite time. Moreover, we dedicate upper estimates of the global solution and the blow-up rate. An upper bound for the blow-up time is also specified. Our research relies mainly on constructing some auxiliary functions and using the parabolic maximum principles and the differential inequality technique.
