Boundary blow-up of a logistic-type porous media equation in a multiply connected domain
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
We study positive solutions to the porous media equation of degenerate logistic type −Δu = a(x)u1/m – b(x)f(u), m > 1, which blow up at the inner boundary and satisfy a homogeneous boundary condition at the outer boundary of a multiply connected domain. In particular, we investigate uniqueness and blow-up rate near the inner boundary for such solutions. We also look at the limiting behaviour as m ↘ 1 for the special case where b(x) > 0 and f(u) = up/m with p > m.
