Asymptotic behavior of blowup solutions of a parabolic equation with the \(p\)-Laplacian (Q2563736)

Summary: We consider the blow-up problem for \(u_t=\Delta_pu+|u|^{p-2}u\) (\(x\in\Omega\), \(t>0\)) under the Dirichlet boundary condition and \(p>2\). We derive sufficient conditions on blowing up of solutions. In particular, it is shown that every non-negative and non-zero solution blows up in a finite time if the domain \(\Omega\) is large enough. Moreover, we show that every blow-up solution behaves asymptotically like a self-similar solution near the blow-up time. A Rayleigh type quotient introduced plays an important role throughout this paper.
