Uniform blow-up profiles and boundary behavior for diffusion equations with nonlocal nonlinear source (Q1288198)

The Dirichlet problem for semilinear parabolic equations with nonlocal reaction terms is considered. The nonlinearities are such that blow-up in finite time may occur. For a large class of equations it is shown that solutions have global blow-up and that the rate of blow-up is uniform in compact subsets of the domain. The behavior in a boundary layer is studied, too. Some Fujita-type results are also established for the Cauchy problem.
