Blow-up and global existence for a degenerate parabolic system with nonlocal sources (Q444325)

Summary: This paper investigates the blow-up and global existence of nonnegative solutions for a class of nonlocal degenerate parabolic systems. By using the super- and subsolution techniques, the critical exponent of the system is determined. That is, if \(P_c = p_1 q_1 - (m - p_2)(n - q_2) < 0\), then every nonnegative solution is global, whereas if \(P_c > 0\), there are solutions that blow up and others that are global according to the size of initial values \(u_0(x)\) and \(v_0(x)\). When \(P_c = 0\), we show that if the domain is sufficiently small, every nonnegative solution is global while if the domain large enough that is, if it contains a sufficiently large ball, there is no global solution.
