    BLOW-UP SOLUTIONS FOR FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH NONLINEAR MEMORY

    Fractals18 Feb 2025

    In this paper, we consider the nonlinear cauchy problem

    {𝜗ρ+(Δ)𝜃2𝜗=λȷ1α0/ρe𝜗+μȷ1α0/ρ|𝜗|p1𝜗,xN,ρ>0,𝜗(x,0)=𝜗0(x),xN,
    where Jα0/ρf(x):=1Γ(α)ρ0f(s)(ρs)1αds and 0<𝜃2,0<α<1. We will study the equation for λ=μ=1. We demonstrate the local existence and uniqueness of the solution to this problem by the Banach fixed-point principle. Then, it is shown that local solutions experience blow-up. Finally, we present the blow-up rate when 𝜃=2.

    NON-EXISTENCE OF GLOBAL SOLUTIONS TO A SYSTEM OF FRACTIONALLY DAMPED FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS

    Fractals18 Mar 2025

    In this paper, we consider solving a system of fractional differential equations with nonlinear source term. The nonlocal source term is a convolution of an exponential with a kernel. The solved system is able to be seen as a generalization of a number of varied systems of equations with solutions that blows up in a finite time. Under initial conditions, the nontrivial global solutions blow-up and certain assumptions are established by the weak formulation of the problem with some estimation inequalities.

    Blow-up of solutions of semilinear wave equations in accelerated expanding Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker spacetime

    Consider a nonlinear wave equation for a massless scalar field with self-interaction in the spatially flat Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker spacetimes. For the case of accelerated expansion, we show that the blow-up in a finite time occurs for the equation with arbitrary power nonlinearity as well as upper bounds of the lifespan of blow-up solutions. Comparing to the case of the Minkowski spacetime, we discuss how the scale factor affects the lifespan of blow-up solutions of the equation.

    The regularity properties and blow-up of the solutions for nonlocal Schrödinger equations

    In this paper, the Cauchy problem for convolution-type nonlocal linear and nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NSEs) is studied. The equations include the general differential operators. The existence, uniqueness, Lp-regularity properties of linear problem and the existence, uniqueness, and blow-up at finite time of the nonlinear problem are obtained. By choosing differential operators including in equations, the regularity properties of a different type of nonlocal Schrödinger equation are studied.

    A THERMAL EXPLOSION IN A CYLINDRICAL VESSEL: A NON-CLASSICAL SYMMETRY APPROACH

    New solutions to the Frank-Kamenetskii partial differential equation modeling a thermal explosion in a cylindrical vessel are obtained. The classical Lie group method is used to determine an approximate solution valid in a small interval around the axis of the cylinder. Non-classical symmetries are used to determine solutions valid after blow-up. These solutions have multiple singularities. Solutions are plotted and analyzed.

    STEADY STATE SOLUTIONS FOR A THERMAL EXPLOSION IN A CYLINDRICAL VESSEL

    Steady state solutions of a heat balance equation modeling a thermal explosion in a cylindrical vessel are obtained. The heat balance equation reduces to a Lane–Emden equation of the second-kind when steady state solutions are investigated. Analytical solutions to this Lane–Emden equation of the second-kind are obtained by implementation of the Lie group method. The classical Lie group method is used to obtain the well-known solution of Frank-Kamenetskii for the temperature distribution in a cylindrical vessel. Using an extension of the classical Lie group method a non-local symmetry is obtained and a new solution describing the temperature distribution after blow-up is obtained.

    ON THE CENTER PROBLEM FOR DEGENERATE SINGULAR POINTS OF PLANAR VECTOR FIELDS

    The center problem for degenerate singular points of planar systems (the degenerate-center problem) is a poorly-understood problem in the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations. It may be broken down into two problems: the monodromy problem, to decide if the singular point is of focus-center type, and the stability problem, to decide whether it is a focus or a center.

    We present an outline on the status of the center problem for degenerate singular points, explaining the main techniques and obstructions arising in the study of the problem. We also present some new results. Our new results are the characterization of a family of vector fields having a degenerate monodromic singular point at the origin, and the computation of the generalized first focal value for this family V1. This gives the solution of the stability problem in the monodromic case, except when V1 = 1. Our approach relies on the use of the blow-up technique and the study of the blow-up geometry of singular points. The knowledge of the blow-up geometry is used to generate a bifurcation of a limit cycle.

    No Chaos in Dixon’s System

    The so-called Dixon system is often cited as an example of a two-dimensional (continuous) dynamical system that exhibits chaotic behavior, if its two parameters take their values in a certain domain. We provide first a rigorous proof that there is no chaos in Dixon’s system. Then we perform a complete bifurcation analysis of the system showing that the parameter space can be decomposed into 16 different regions in each of which the system exhibits qualitatively the same behavior. In particular, we prove that in some regions two elliptic sectors with infinitely many homoclinic orbits exist.

Under certain conditions given by absorption term of the equations, we prove respectively local existence and blow-up results of solutions to Fujita-type equations on finite graphs. Our results contain some previous results as special cases. Finally, we provide some numerical experiments to illustrate the applicability of the obtained results.

    BLOW-UP PROBLEMS FOR GENERALIZED FUJITA-TYPE EQUATIONS ON GRAPHS

    Fractals24 Sep 2022

    In this paper, we study the blow-up problem for Fujita-type equations with a general absorption term f on finite graphs and locally finite graphs, respectively. We prove that if f satisfies appropriate conditions, then the solutions of the equation blow up in finite time. The obtained results are generalization of those given by the author in previous papers. At the end of the paper, we provide some numerical experiments to illustrate the applicability of the obtained results.

    BLOW-UP PROBLEMS FOR FUJITA-TYPE PARABOLIC SYSTEM INVOLVING TIME-DEPENDENT COEFFICIENTS ON GRAPHS

    Fractals01 Jan 2023

    In this paper, we deal with the blow-up problems for Fujita-type parabolic system involving time-dependent coefficients on graphs. Under appropriate conditions, we prove that the nonnegative solution of the parabolic system blows up in a finite time on finite graphs and locally finite graphs, respectively. The results obtained extend some previous results of [Y. Lin and Y. Wu, Blow-up problems for nonlinear parabolic equations on locally finite graphs, Acta Math. Sci. Ser. B 38(3) (2018) 843–856; Y. Wu, Local existence and blow-up of solutions to Fujita-type equations involving general absorption term on finite graphs, Fractals 30(2) (2022) 2240053].
