Cauchy problems of semilinear pseudo-parabolic equations (Q1022939)

The Cauchy problems \(u(x,0)=u_0 (x)\), \(x\in \mathbb R^n\), for semilinear Sobolev type equation \((u-\kappa \Delta u)_t = \Delta u +u^p\) in \(\mathbb R^n\times\mathbb R_+\) is under consideration. Here parameters \(k\), \(p\in\mathbb R_+\) and function \(u_0 (x)\) is nonnegative and appropriately smooth. Authors prove existence and uniquess of mild solution to this problems. Main results of this paper are the following: (i) there exist global solution for each initial data in the case \(0 < p \leq 1\), while there exists at least one initial data such that the solution blows up in a finite time in the case \(p>1\); (ii) any nontrivial solution blows up in a finite time in the case \(1<p \leq 1+2/n\), while there exist at least one nontrivial global solution in the case \(p>1+2/n\).
