Properties of blow up solutions to a parabolic system with nonlinear localized terms (Q2569356)

The paper deals with the semilinear parabolic system \[ u_t = \Delta u + u^m(x,t) v^n(x_o,t), \qquad v_t = \Delta v + u^p(x_o,t) v^q(x,t) \qquad \text{for} \quad x \in \Omega, t>0, \] accompanied by the boundary and initial conditions \[ u=v=0 \quad \text{for} \quad x\in \partial \Omega, t>0, \qquad u(x,0) = u_o(x), \quad v(x,0) = v_o(x) \quad \text{for} \quad x \in \Omega, \] where \(\Omega \subset \mathbb R^N\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary \(\partial \Omega\), \(m,n,p,q\) are nonnegative constants such that \(m+n >0, \; p+q > 0, \; x_o \in \Omega\) is a fixed point and \(u_o(x), \; v_o(x)\) are continuous in \(\Omega\), non-negative and nontrivial functions. It follows from the papers [\textit{M. Escobedo, M. A. Herrero}, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl., IV. Ser. 165, 315--336 (1993; Zbl 0806.35088) and \textit{P. Souplet}, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 29, No. 6, 1301--1334 (1998; Zbl 0909.35073)] (quoted by the authors) that the considered system has a local nonnegative solution. The theorems proved in the reviewed paper give some sufficient or some necessary conditions for this solution to blow up in finite time.
