Blow-up Theories for Semilinear Parabolic Equations

Authors:

  • There are many lengthy books in blowup theories, this one is short and appropriate for graduate students.
  • Emphasize the methods, avoid massive technical computations.
  • Good enough for a one semester course.

About this book

There is an enormous amount of work in the literature about the blow-up behavior of evolution equations. It is our intention to introduce the theory by emphasizing the methods while seeking to avoid massive technical computations. To reach this goal, we use the simplest equation to illustrate the methods; these methods very often apply to more general equations.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“The book approaches the blow-up theories for semilinear parabolic equations using maximum principles and a priori estimates. … this book is an excellent mathematical monograph and a valuable reference for researchers in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations. This book also clearly benefits instructors who need a solid and updated text for a topic course in partial differential equations. The author has produced a commendable work of scholarly achievement.” (Hongwei Chen, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 i)

“These lecture notes are intended for graduate students … of basic theory of second-order parabolic and elliptic equations. … At the end of each chapter, there is a set of well-chosen exercises. … It is a nice addition to the existing literature on blow-up since the previous books were mostly intended for more advanced readers.” (Marek Fila, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1226, 2012)
