On blow-up of solutions for quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations (Q1187160)

Let \(\Omega\) be a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\) with smooth boundary \(\partial\Omega\). In this paper the authors consider the parabolic initial-boundary value problem \[ (a(u))_ t= \Delta u+f(u) \qquad \text{in} \qquad \Omega\times (0,T), \] \[ Bu(x,t)=0 \quad \text{on} \quad \partial\Omega\times (0,T), \qquad u(x,0)= u_ 0(x) \quad \text{in} \quad \Omega \] with the boundary operator \(Bu(x,t)= u(x,t)\) (Dirichlet) or \(=\partial_ \nu u(x,t)\) (Neumann) or \(=\{\partial_ \nu+ \sigma(x)\}u(x,t)\) (Robin). The object of this paper is to obtain conditions which ensure the blow-up of solutions. In addition they study the behaviour of solutions at the blow-up time.
