Blowup for the \(C^1\) solutions of the Euler-Poisson equations of gaseous stars in \(\mathbb R^N\) (Q2275522)

The author uses the integration method to study the blowup problem of the \(N\)-dimensional system with adiabatic exponent \(\gamma>1\), in radial symmetry. It is shown that the \(C^1\) non-trivial classical solutions \((\rho,V)\) with compact support in \([0,R]\), where \(R>0\) is a positive constant with \(\rho(t,r)=0\) and \(V(t,r)=0\) for \(r\geq R\), under the initial condition \[ H_0=\int_0^R r^nV_0\,dr>\sqrt{\frac{2R^{2n-N+4}M}{n(n+1)(n-N+2)}} \] with an arbitrary constant \(n>\max(N-2,0)\), blows up for pressureless fluids or \(\gamma>1\). In addition, the corresponding result for the repulsive systems is also provided. Here the result fully covers the previous case for \(n=1\) in [the author, Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl., Ser. A, Theory Methods 74, No.~4, 1465--1470 (2011; Zbl 1372.35228)].
