Abstract:
We first examine the existence and uniqueness of local solutions
to the semilinear filtration equation
,
for
,
with initial data
and appropriate boundary
conditions. Our main result is the proof of blow-up of solutions
for some
.
Moreover, we discuss the existence of solutions for the corresponding
steady-state problem. It is found that there exists a critical value
such that for
the problem has no
stationary solution of any kind, while for
there exist classical stationary solutions.
Finally, our main result is that the solution for
,
blows-up in finite time independently of
.
The functions f,K are positive, increasing and convex and K'/f
is integrable at infinity.
