\section{Introduction}

Let $i\in \{1,2\}$ and $j=3-i$. In this paper we study blow up of positive
mild solutions of
\begin{equation} \label{wcs}
\begin{gathered}
\frac{\partial u_i(t,x) }{\partial t}
= g_i(t) \Delta _{\alpha _i}u_i(t,x) +h_i(t)
u_{j}^{\beta _i}(t,x) ,\quad t>0,\; x\in \mathbb{R}^{d},   \\
u_i(0,x) = \varphi _i(x) ,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{d},
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
where $\Delta _{\alpha _i}=-(-\Delta ) ^{\alpha _i/2}$,
$0<\alpha _i\leq 2$, is the $\alpha _i$-Laplacian, $\beta _i\geq 1$ are
constants, $\varphi _i$ are non negative, not identically zero, bounded
continuous functions and $h_i,g_i:(0,\infty )\to [0,\infty) $
are continuous functions.

If there exist a solution $(u_1,u_2) $ of \eqref{wcs}
defined in $[0,\infty ) \times \mathbb{R}^{d}$, we say that
$(u_1,u_2) $ is a global solution, on the other hand if there
exists a number $t_e<\infty $ such that $(u_1,u_2) $ is
unbounded in $[0,t] \times \mathbb{R}^{d}$, for each $t>t_e$,
we say that $(u_1,u_2) $ blows up in finite time.

The associated integral system of \eqref{wcs} is
\begin{equation} \label{ecintegrl}
\begin{aligned}
u_i(t,x) &= \int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_i(G_i(t)
,y-x) \varphi _i(y)dy   \\
&\quad +\int_{0}^{t}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_i(G_i(s,t) ,y-x)
h_i(s) u_{j}^{\beta _i}(s,y) \,dy\,ds.
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
Here $p_i(t,x) $ denote the fundamental solution of
$\frac{\partial }{\partial t}-\Delta _{\alpha _i}$ and
\begin{equation*}
G_i(s,t) =\int_{s}^{t}g_i(r) dr,\quad 0\leq s\leq t,
\end{equation*}
where $G_i(t)=G_i(0,t)$. We say that $(u_1,u_2) $ is a
mild solution of \eqref{wcs} if $(u_1,u_2) $ is a solution
of \eqref{ecintegrl}.

Our main result reads as follows.

\begin{theorem}\label{TeoPr}
Assume that $\beta _i\beta _{j}>1$ and
\begin{equation}
\lim_{t\to \infty }G_i(t) =\infty .  \label{condG}
\end{equation}
Let $a\in \{1,2\}$ such that
\begin{equation}
\alpha _{a}=\min \{\alpha _1,\alpha _2\}\text{ \ and \ }b=3-a.
\label{defa}
\end{equation}
Define
\begin{equation}
f_i(t)=h_i(t) \Big(\frac{G_b(t) }{
(G_{j}(t) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha _{j}}+G_b(t)
)^{\beta _i}}\Big) ^{d/\alpha _b},\quad t>0.  \label{dfi}
\end{equation}
Then the positive solution of \eqref{ecintegrl} blows up in finite time if
\begin{equation}
\int_{\cdot }^{\infty }F(s)ds=\infty ,  \label{cenfexplo}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
F(t)=\Big(f_i(t)^{1/(\beta _i+1)}f_{j}(t)^{1/(\beta _{j}+1)}\Big)
^{(\beta _i+1)(\beta _{j}+1)/(\beta _i+\beta _{j}+2)}.  \label{dfexpl}
\end{equation}
\end{theorem}

It is well known that a classical solution is a mild solution. Therefore, if
we give a sufficient condition for blow up of positive solutions to
\eqref{ecintegrl} then we have a condition for blow up of classical solutions to
\eqref{wcs}.

\begin{corollary}\label{SegRe}
Moreover, assume that $\rho _i>0$, $\sigma _i>-1$ and
\begin{equation} \label{conexpledi}
\begin{aligned}
&\frac{d\rho _b}{\alpha _b}+\frac{\sigma _i(1+\beta
_{j})+\sigma _{j}(1+\beta _i)}{\beta _i+\beta _{j}+2}+1\\
&\geq \frac{d}{\beta _i+\beta _{j}+2}\big[\beta _i(\beta _{j}+1)\max
\{ \frac{\rho _{j}}{\alpha _{j}},\frac{\rho _b}{\alpha _b}
\} +\beta _{j}(\beta _i+1)\max \{ \frac{\rho _i}{\alpha _i}
,\frac{\rho _b}{\alpha _b}\} \big] ,
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
then each (classical) solution to
\begin{equation} \label{Edparpart}
\begin{gathered}
\frac{\partial u_i(t,x) }{\partial t}
= \rho _it^{\rho_i-1}\Delta _{\alpha _i}u_i(t,x) +t^{\sigma
_i}u_{j}^{\beta _i}(t,x) ,\quad t>0,\; x\in\mathbb{R}^{d},   \\
u_i(0,x) = \varphi _i(x) ,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{d}.
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
blow up in finite time.
\end{corollary}

In applied mathematics it is well known the importance of the study of
equations such as \eqref{wcs}. In fact, for example, they arise in fields like
molecular biology, hydrodynamics and statistical physics \cite{S-Z}. Also,
notice that generators of the form $g_i(t) \Delta _{\alpha_i}$ arise in
models of anomalous growth of certain fractal interfaces \cite{M-W}.

There are many related works. Here are some of them:

$\bullet$ When $\alpha _1=\alpha _2=2$, $\rho _1=\rho _2=1$,
$\sigma _1=\sigma _2=0$ and $\varphi _1=\varphi _2$ in \eqref{Edparpart},
Fujita \cite{Fujita} showed that if $d<\alpha _1/\beta _1$, then for any
non-vanishing initial condition the solution of \eqref{Edparpart} is
infinite for all $t$ large enough.

$\bullet$  When $\alpha _1=\alpha _2$, $\rho _1=\rho _2$,
$\sigma _1=\sigma _2$ and $\varphi _1=\varphi _2$ in \eqref{Edparpart},
P\'erez and Villa \cite{P-V} showed that if
$\sigma _1+1\geq d\rho _1(\beta _1-1)/\alpha _1$, then the solutions
of \eqref{Edparpart} blow up in finite time.

$\bullet$ When $\alpha _1=\alpha _2=2$ and $\rho _1=\rho _2=1$ in
\eqref{Edparpart}, Uda \cite{Uda} proved that all positive solutions of
\eqref{Edparpart} blow up if
$\max \{ \frac{(\sigma _2+1) \beta _1+\sigma _1+1}{\beta _1\beta _2-1},
\frac{(\sigma_1+1) \beta _2+\sigma _2+1}{\beta _1\beta _2-1}\} \geq
\frac{d}{2}$.

$\bullet$ When $\alpha _1=\alpha _2$, $g_1(t)=g_2(t)=t^{\rho -1}$,
$\rho >0$, and $h_1(t)=h_2(t)=1$ in \eqref{wcs}, P\'{e}rez \cite{P} proved
that every positive solution blows up in finite time if
$\min \{ \frac{\alpha _1}{\rho (\beta _1-1) },\frac{\alpha _1}{\rho
(\beta _2-1) }\} >d$.

$\bullet$ When $\rho _1=\rho _2=1$ and the nonlinear terms in
\eqref{Edparpart} are of the form $h(t,x) u^{\beta _i}$,
 $h(t,x) =O(t^{\sigma }| x| ^{\gamma }) $,
Guedda and Kirane \cite{G-K-2} also studied blow up.


Other related results (when $\alpha _1=\alpha _2=2$) can be found, for
example in \cite{andre,fila,koby, moch} and
references therein.

It is worth while to mention that Guedda and Kirane \cite{G-K-2} observed
that to reduce the study of blow up of \eqref{wcs} to a system of ordinary
differential equations we must have a comparison result between
$p_i(t,x) $ and $p_{j}(t,x) $. Therefore, the goal of this
paper is to use the comparison result given in \cite[Lemma 2.4]{M-V}
to follow the usual approach, see among others \cite{Sug} or \cite{G-K-1}.

When $\alpha _1=\alpha _2=2$, $\rho _1=\rho _2=1$ and
$\sigma _1=\sigma _2=0$ the Uda condition \eqref{dUda}, the P\'{e}rez
condition \eqref{dAro} and the condition \eqref{conexpledi} become
\begin{gather}
d \leq \frac{2(\max \{\beta _1,\beta _2\}+1)}{\beta _1\beta _2-1}
=C_{U},  \label{dUda} \\
d <\frac{2}{\max \{\beta _1,\beta _2\}-1}=C_{A},  \label{dAro} \\
d \leq \frac{\beta _1+\beta _2+2}{\beta _1\beta _2-1}=C_{V},
\label{dVilla}
\end{gather}
respectively. Since $C_{A}\leq C_{V}\leq C_{U}$ we see that the Uda
condition \eqref{dUda} is the best. Also, from this we see that $C_{V}$,
given in \eqref{dVilla}, is not the optimal bound (critical dimension), but
we believe that it is the best we can get by constructing a convenient
subsolution of the solution of \eqref{ecintegrl}. In fact, the condition
\eqref{conexpledi} coincides with the condition for blow up given by
P\'erez and Villa \cite{P-V}.

This article  is organized as follows.
 In Section 1 we prove the existence of
local solutions for the equation \eqref{ecintegrl}.
In Section 2 we give some preliminary results and discuses a sufficient
condition for blow up of a system of ordinary differential equations,
finally in Section 3 we prove the main result and its corollary.

\section{Existence of local solution}

The existence of local solutions for the weakly coupled system
\eqref{ecintegrl} follows form the fix-point theorem of Banach. We begin
introducing some normed linear spaces. By
$L^{\infty }(\mathbb{R}^{d}) $ we denote the space of all real-valued
functions essentially bounded defined on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Let $\tau >0$
be a real number that we will fix later. Define
\begin{equation*}
E_{\tau }=\{ (u_1,u_2) :[0,\tau ]
\to L^{\infty }(\mathbb{R}^{d}) \times L^{\infty }(
\mathbb{R}^{d}) ,\,|||(u_1,u_2) |||<\infty
\} ,
\end{equation*}
where
\begin{equation*}
|||(u_1,u_2) |||=\sup_{0\leq t\leq \tau }\{ \|
u_1(t) \| _{\infty }+\| u_2(t)\| _{\infty }\} .
\end{equation*}
Then $E_{\tau }$ is a Banach space and the sets, $R>0$,
\begin{gather*}
P_{\tau } = \{ (u_1,u_2) \in E_{\tau }\text{, }
u_1\geq 0,u_2\geq 0\} , \\
B_{\tau } = \{ (u_1,u_2) \in E_{\tau }\text{, }
|||(u_1,u_2) |||\leq R\} \text{,}
\end{gather*}
are closed subspaces of $E_{\tau }$.

\begin{theorem}\label{exisloc}
There exists a $\tau =\tau (\varphi _1,\varphi _2) >0$ such that the integral
system \eqref{ecintegrl} has a local solution in $B_{\tau }\cap P_{\tau }$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
Define the operator $\Psi :B_{\tau }\cap P_{\tau }\to B_{\tau }\cap
P_{\tau }$, by
\begin{align*}
&\Psi (u_1,u_2) (t,x)  \\
& =\Big(\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_1(G_1(t)
,y-x) \varphi _1(y) dy,\int_{\mathbb{R}
^{d}}p_2(G_2(t) ,y-x) \varphi _2(
y) dy\Big)  \\
&\quad +\Big(\int_{0}^{t}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_1(
G_1(s,t) ,y-x) h_1(s) u_2^{\beta
_1}(s,y) \,dy\,ds,  \\
& \quad \int_{0}^{t}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_2(
G_2(s,t) ,y-x) h_2(s) u_1^{\beta
_2}(s,y) \,dy\,ds\Big) .
\end{align*}
We choose $R$ sufficiently large such that $\Psi$ is onto $B_{\tau }\cap
P_{\tau }$. We are going to show that $\Psi $ is a contraction,
therefore $\Psi $ has a fix point. Let $(u_1,u_2) ,(\tilde{u}_1,\tilde{u}
_2) \in B_{\tau }\cap P_{\tau }$ with $u_i(0)=\widetilde{u}_i(0)$,
\begin{align*}
&|||\Psi (u_1,u_2) -\Psi (\tilde{u}_1,\tilde{u}
_2) ||| \\
&= |||\Big(\int_{0}^{t}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_1(
G_1(s,t) ,y-x) h_1(s) [u_2^{\beta
_1}(s,y) -\tilde{u}_2^{\beta _1}(s,y) ]
\,dy\,ds,  \\
&\quad  \int_{0}^{t}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_2(
G_2(s,t) ,y-x) h_2(s) [u_1^{\beta
_2}(s,y) -\tilde{u}_1^{\beta _2}(s,y) ]
\,dy\,ds\Big) ||| \\
&\leq \sum_{i=1}^{2}\sup_{t\in [0,\tau ] }\int
_{0}^{t}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_i(G_i(
s,t) ,y-x) h_i(s) \| u_{j}^{\beta
_i}(s) -\tilde{u}_{j}^{\beta _i}(s) \|
_{\infty }\,dy\,ds.
\end{align*}
Let $w,z>0$ and $p\geq 1$, then
\begin{equation*}
| w^{p}-z^{p}| \leq p(w\vee z)^{p-1}| w-z| .
\end{equation*}
Using the previous elementary inequality we obtain
\begin{align*}
| u_{j}^{\beta _i}(s,x) -\tilde{u}_{j}^{\beta_i}(s,x) |
&\leq \beta _i(u_{j}(s,x) \vee \tilde{u}_{j}(s,x) ) ^{\beta
_i-1}| u_{j}(s,x) -\tilde{u}_{j}(s,x)|  \\
&\leq \beta _iR^{\beta _i-1}\| u_{j}-\tilde{u}_{j}\| _{\infty }\text{,}
\end{align*}
from this we deduce
\begin{align*}
|||\Psi (u_1,u_2) -\Psi (\tilde{u}_1,\tilde{u}
_2) |||
&\leq  \sum_{i=1}^{2}\sup_{t\in [0,\tau ]
}\int_{0}^{t}h_i(s) \beta _iR^{\beta _i-1}\| u_i(s)-
\tilde{u}_i(s) \| _{\infty }ds \\
&\leq (\sum_{i=1}^{2}\beta _iR^{\beta _i-1}\int_{0}^{\tau }h_i(
s) ds)|||(u_1,u_2) -(\tilde{u}_1,\tilde{u}_2) |||.
\end{align*}
Since $\lim_{t\to 0}\int_{0}^{t}h_i(s) ds=0$
, we can choose $\tau >0$ small enough such that $\Psi $ is a
contraction.
\end{proof}

\section{Preliminary results}

\begin{lemma} \label{pden}
For any $s,t>0$ and any $x,y\in \mathbb{R}^{d}$, we have
\begin{itemize}
\item[(i)] $p_i(ts,x) =t^{-d/\alpha_i }p_i(s,t^{-1/\alpha_i}x)$. 
\item[(ii)] $p_i(t,x) \geq (\frac{s}{t}) ^{d/\alpha_i}p_i(s,x) $, for $t\geq s$.
\item[(iii)] $p_i(t,\frac{1}{\tau }(x-y) ) \geq p_i(t,x) p_i(t,y) $, if 
$p_i(t,0) \leq 1$ and $\tau \geq 2$.
\item[(iv)] There exist constants $c_i\in (0,1] $ such that
\begin{equation}
p_i(t,x) \geq c_ip_b(t^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i},x),
\label{reldensi}
\end{equation}
where $b$ is as in \eqref{defa}.
\end{itemize}
\end{lemma}

For the proof of (i)-(iii) see \cite[Section 2]{Sug}, and for (iv)
see \cite[Lemma 2.4]{M-V}.

\begin{lemma} \label{cotini}
Let $u_i$ be a positive solution of \eqref{ecintegrl}, then
\begin{equation}
u_i(t_{0},x) \geq c_i(t_{0})p_b\big(2^{-\alpha_b}G_i(t_{0})
^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i},x\big) ,\quad
\forall x\in \mathbb{R}^{d},  \label{estuini}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation*}
c_i(t_{0})=c_i2^{-d}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_b\big(
G_i(t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i},2y\big) \varphi_i(y)dy
\end{equation*}
and $t_{0}>1$ is large enough such that
\begin{equation}
p_b(G_i(t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i},0)\leq 1.  \label{tre}
\end{equation}
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
By (i) of Lemma \ref{pden} and \eqref{condG} there exist $t_{0}$ large
enough such that
\begin{equation}
p_b\big(G_i(t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i},0\big)
=G_i(t_{0}) ^{-d/\alpha _i}p_b(1,0) \leq 1.
\label{cpsm1}
\end{equation}
Using (iii) and (i) of Lemma \ref{pden}, we obtain
\begin{align*}
p_b\big(G_i(t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i},y-x\big)
&\geq p_b\big(G_i(t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha
_i},2x\big) p_b(G_i(t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha_i},2y)  \\
&= 2^{-d}p_b\big(2^{-\alpha _b}G_i(t_{0}) ^{\alpha
_b/\alpha _i},x\big) p_b(G_i(t_{0}) ^{\alpha
_b/\alpha _i},2y) .
\end{align*}
From \eqref{ecintegrl}, (iv) of Lemma \ref{pden} and the previous inequality
we conclude
\begin{equation*}
u_i(t_{0},x)\geq (c_i2^{-d}\int_{\mathbb{R}
^{d}}p_b(G_i(t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha
_i},2y) \varphi _i(y)dy) p_b(2^{-\alpha
_b}G_i(t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i},x) .
\end{equation*}
Getting the desired result.\hfill
\end{proof}

Observe that the semigroup property implies
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
&u_i(t+t_{0},x)\\
&=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_i(
G_i(t_{0},t+t_{0}) ,y-x) u_i(t_{0},y)dy   \\
&\quad +\int_{0}^{t}\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_i(
G_i(s+t_{0},t+t_{0}) ,y-x) h_i(s+t_{0})
u_{j}^{\beta _i}(s+t_{0},y) \,dy\,ds.
\end{aligned} \label{umtei}
\end{equation}
Let
\begin{equation}
\bar{u}_i(t) =\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_b(
G_b(t),x) u_i(t,x) dx,\quad t\geq 0.  \label{dubar}
\end{equation}

\begin{lemma} \label{caresp}
If $\overline{u}_i$ blow up in finite time, then $u_i$ also does.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Let $t_{0}$ be given in Lemma \ref{pden}. Take $t_{0}<t_{j}<\infty $ the
explosion time of $\overline{u}_{j}$. From \eqref{condG} we can choose
$ t>t_{j}$ large enough such that
\begin{equation*}
G_i(t_{j}+t_{0},t+t_{0}) >2^{\alpha _i}G_b(t_{j}+t_{0}) ^{\alpha _i/\alpha _b}.
\end{equation*}
Thus, for each $0\leq s\leq t_{j}$,
\begin{align*}
\int_{s+t_{0}}^{t+t_{0}}g_i(r) dr
&\geq \int_{t_{j}+t_{0}}^{t+t_{0}}g_i(r) dr \\
&>2^{\alpha _i}\Big(\int_{0}^{t_{j}+t_{0}}g_b(r)
dr\Big) ^{\alpha _i/\alpha _b}\\
&\geq 2^{\alpha _i}\Big(
\int_{0}^{s+t_{0}}g_b(r) dr\Big) ^{\alpha _i/\alpha _b},
\end{align*}
hence
\begin{equation*}
\tau _i=\frac{G_i(s+t_{0},t+t_{0}) ^{1/\alpha _i}}{
G_b(s+t_{0}) ^{1/\alpha _b}}\geq 2.
\end{equation*}
On the other hand, \eqref{cpsm1} implies
\begin{equation*}
p_b(G_b(s+t_{0}) ,0) \leq p_b(
G_b(t_{0}) ,0) =G_b(t_{0}) ^{-d/\alpha_b}p_b(1,0) \leq 1.
\end{equation*}
Using (i) and (iii) of Lemma \ref{pden} we obtain
\begin{align*}
p_b(G_i(s+t_{0},t+t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha_i},y-x)
&= \tau _i^{-d}p_b(G_b(s+t_{0}) , \frac{1}{\tau _i}(y-x))  \\
&\geq \tau _i^{-d}p_b(G_b(s+t_{0}) ,x)
p_b(G_b(s+t_{0}) ,y) .
\end{align*}
From \eqref{umtei}, (iv) of Lemma \ref{pden} and Jensen's inequality we
deduce that
\begin{align*}
&u_i(t+t_{0},x) \\
&\geq c_i\int_{0}^{t_{j}}h_i(s+t_{0})  \int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_b\big(
G_i(s+t_{0},t+t_{0})^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i},y-x\big)
u_{j}(s+t_{0},y) ^{\beta _i}\,dy\,ds \\
&\geq c_i\int_{0}^{t_{j}}\tau _i^{-d}h_i(
s+t_{0}) p_b(G_b(s+t_{0}) ,x) \overline{u}
_{j}(s+t_{0}) ^{\beta _i}ds.
\end{align*}
Then $u_i(t+t_{0},x) =\infty $. The definition \eqref{dubar}
of $\overline{u}_i$\ implies that $\overline{u}_i$ blows up in finite
time, and working as before we conclude that $u_{j}$ also blows up in finite
time.\hfill
\end{proof}

In what follows by $c$ we mean a positive constant that may change from
place to place.
The following result is interesting in itself.

\begin{proposition}\label{explocombi}
Let $v_i,f_i:[t_{0},\infty )\to \mathbb{R}$ be
continuous functions such that
\begin{equation*}
v_i(t)\geq k+k\int_{t_{0}}^{t}f_i(s)v_{j}(s)
^{\beta _i}ds,\quad t\geq t_{0},
\end{equation*}
where $k>0$ is a constant. Then $v_i$ blow up in finite time if
\begin{equation*}
\int_{t_{0}}^{\infty }\Big(f_i(s)^{1/(\beta
_i+1)}f_{j}(s)^{1/(\beta _{j}+1)}\Big) ^{(\beta _i+1)
(\beta _{j}+1)/(\beta _i+\beta _{j}+2)}ds=\infty .
\end{equation*}
\end{proposition}

\begin{proof}
Consider the system
\begin{equation}
z_i(t)=\frac{k}{2}+k\int_{t_{0}}^{t}f_i(s)z_{j}(s)
^{\beta _i}ds,\quad t\geq t_{0}.  \label{ecauxcomexplo}
\end{equation}
Let $N_i=\{t>t_{0}:z_i(s)<v_i(s), \forall s\in \lbrack 0,t]\}$. It
is clear that $N_i\neq \emptyset $. Let $e_i=\sup N_i$. Without loss
of generality suppose that $e_i\geq e_{j}$. If $e_i<\infty $, then the
continuity of $v_{j}-z_{j}$, yields
\begin{equation*}
0=(v_{j}-z_{j})(e_{j})\geq \frac{k}{2}+k\int_{t_{0}}^{e_{j}}f_{j}(s)
[v_i(s) ^{\beta _{j}}-z_i(s) ^{\beta _{j}}
] ds\geq \frac{k}{2}.
\end{equation*}
Therefore, $z_i(t)\leq v_i(t)$ for each $t\geq t_{0}$.
Define
\begin{equation}
Z(t)=\log z_i(t)z_{j}(t),\quad t\geq t_{0}.  \label{dprosol}
\end{equation}
Then, by \eqref{ecauxcomexplo},
\begin{align*}
Z'(t)
&= \frac{f_i(t)z_{j}(t)^{\beta _i}}{z_i(t)}+\frac{
f_i(t)z_i(t)^{\beta _{j}}}{z_{j}(t)} \\
&= \frac{(f_i(t)^{1/(\beta _i+1)}z_{j}(t)) ^{\beta
_i+1}+(f_{j}(t)^{1/(\beta _{j}+1)}z_i(t)) ^{\beta _{j}+1}}{
z_i(t)z_{j}(t)}.
\end{align*}
From \cite[Proposition 1, p.259]{Q-H} we see that for each $x,y>0$,
\begin{equation*}
y^{\beta _i+1}+x^{\beta _{j}+1}
\geq c(xy)^{(\beta _i+1) (\beta _{j}+1)/(\beta _i+\beta _{j}+2)}.
\end{equation*}
Using this and \eqref{dprosol} we obtain
\begin{align*}
Z'(t) 
&\geq c\Big(f_i(t)^{1/(\beta _i+1)}f_{j}(t)^{1/(\beta
_{j}+1)}\Big) ^{(\beta _i+1) (\beta _{j}+1)/(\beta_i+\beta _{j}+2)}\\
&\quad\times \big(z_i(t)z_{j}(t)\big) ^{(\beta _i\beta
_i-1) /(\beta _i+\beta _{j}+2)} \\
&= cF(t)\exp (\frac{\beta _i\beta _i-1}{\beta _i+\beta _{j}+2}
Z(t)) ,
\end{align*}
where $F$ is like \eqref{dfexpl}. Consider the equation
\begin{equation*}
H'(t)=cF(t)\exp (cH(t)) ,\quad t>t_{0},\; H(t_{0})=2\log \frac{k}{2}.
\end{equation*}
whose solution is
\begin{equation*}
H(t)=\log \Big(e^{-cH(t_{0})}-c^{2}\int_{t_{0}}^{t}F(s)ds\Big) ^{-1/c}.
\end{equation*}
Since $H\leq Z$ then the result follows from \eqref{cenfexplo}.\hfill
\end{proof}

\section{Blow up results}

\begin{proof}[Proof of Theorem \protect\ref{TeoPr}]
From \eqref{umtei} and \eqref{reldensi},
\begin{align*}
& u_i(t+t_{0},x)\\
&\geq \int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}c_ip_b (G_i(t_{0},t+t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha
_i},y-x) u_i(t_{0},y)dy \\
&\quad +\int_{0}^{t}h_i(s+t_{0}) \int_{\mathbb{R}
^{d}}c_ip_b(G_i(s+t_{0},t+t_{0}) ^{\alpha
_b/\alpha _i},y-x) u_{j}^{\beta _i}(s+t_{0},y) \,dy\,ds.
\end{align*}
Multiplying by $p_b(G_b(t+t_{0}) ,x) $ and
integrating with respect to $x$ we obtain
\begin{align*}
\bar{u}_i(t+t_{0})
&\geq c_i\int_{\mathbb{R
}^{d}}p_b(G_i(t_{0},t+t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha
_i}+G_b(t+t_{0}) ,y) u_i(t_{0},y)dy \\
&\quad +c_i\int_{0}^{t}h_i(s+t_{0}) \int_{
\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_b(G_i(s+t_{0},t+t_{0}) ^{\alpha
_b/\alpha _i}+G_b(t+t_{0}) ,y)  \\
&\quad \times u_{j}^{\beta _i}(s+t_{0},y) \,dy\,ds.
\end{align*}
The property (ii) of Lemma \ref{pden} and Jensen's inequality, rendering
\begin{align*}
\bar{u}_i(t+t_{0})
&\geq c_i\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}p_b\Big(G_i(t_{0},t+t_{0})^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i}
+G_b(
t+t_{0}) ,y\Big) u_i(t_{0},y)dy \\
&\quad +c_i\int_{0}^{t}(\frac{G_b(s+t_{0}) }{
G_i(s+t_{0},t+t_{0}) ^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i}
+G_b(t+t_{0}) }) ^{d/\alpha _b} \\
&\quad \times h_i(s+t_{0}) (\bar{u}_{j}(s+t_{0})) ^{\beta _i}ds.
\end{align*}
Moreover, \eqref{estuini} and that $G_i(s,\cdot ) $ is
increasing implies
\begin{align*}
\bar{u}_i(t+t_{0})
&\geq c_ic_i(t_{0})p_b(
1,0) (2G_i(t+t_{0})^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i}+2G_b(
t+t_{0}) ) ^{-d/\alpha _b} \\
&\quad +c_i\int_{0}^{t}h_i(s+t_{0}) (\frac{
G_b(s+t_{0}) }{2G_i(t+t_{0}) ^{\alpha
_b/\alpha _i}+2G_b(t+t_{0}) }) ^{d/\alpha
_b}(\bar{u}_{j}(s+t_{0}) ) ^{\beta _i}ds.
\end{align*}
Let
\begin{equation*}
v_i(t+t_{0})=\bar{u}_i(t+t_{0}) (G_i(t+t_{0})
^{\alpha _b/\alpha _i}+G_b(t+t_{0}) )^{d/\alpha _b},
\end{equation*}
then
\begin{equation*}
v_i(t+t_{0})\geq c+c\int_{0}^{t}f_i(s+t_{0})v_{j}(
s+t_{0}) ^{\beta _i}ds,
\end{equation*}
where $f_i$ is defined in \eqref{dfi}. The result follows from Proposition
\ref{explocombi} and Lemma \ref{caresp}.
\end{proof}


\begin{proof}[Proof of Corollary \protect\ref{SegRe}]
Let
\begin{equation*}
f_i(t)=\frac{t^{\sigma _i+d\rho _b/\alpha _b}}{(t^{\rho _{j}\alpha
_b/\alpha _{j}}+t^{\rho _b})^{d\beta _i/\alpha _b}},
\end{equation*}
then
\begin{equation*}
F(t)=\frac{t^{\theta _1}}{(t^{\theta _2}+t^{\theta _3})^{\theta
_{4}}(t^{\theta _5}+t^{\theta _3})^{\theta _6}}
\end{equation*}
where
\begin{gather*}
\theta _1 = \frac{d\rho _b}{\alpha _b}+\frac{\sigma _i(1+\beta
_{j})+\sigma _{j}(1+\beta _i)}{2+\beta _i+\beta _{j}}, \\
\theta _2 = \frac{\rho _{j}\alpha _b}{\alpha _{j}},\quad
\theta _3=\rho _b,\ \ \theta _{4}=\frac{d\beta _i(\beta _{j}+1)}{\alpha _b(2+\beta
_i+\beta _{j})}, \\
\theta _5 = \frac{\rho _i\alpha _b}{\alpha _i},\quad
\theta _6=\frac{d\beta _{j}(\beta _i+1)}{\alpha _b(2+\beta _i+\beta _{j})}.
\end{gather*}
Using the elementary inequality
\begin{equation*}
(t^{\theta _2}+t^{\theta _3})^{\theta _{4}}(t^{\theta _5}+t^{\theta
_3})^{\theta _6}\leq (2t^{\max \{\theta _2,\theta _3\}})^{\theta
_{4}}(2t^{\max \{\theta _5,\theta _3\}})^{\theta _6},\quad t>1,
\end{equation*}
the result follows.
\end{proof}
