A doubly degenerate diffusion system multi-coupled via inner and boundary sources (Q657848)

The authors deal with the following doubly degenerate parabolic system with multi-nonlinearities \[ \begin{cases} (u^{n_1}) _t=(| u_x| ^{m_1-1}u_x) _x+v^{p_1},(v^{n_2}) _t=(| v_x| ^{m_2-1}v_x) _x+u^{p_2}, & x,t\in (0,1) \times (0,T) , \\ (| u_x| ^{m_1-1}u_x) (0,t) =0,(| u_x| ^{m_1-1}u_x) (1,t) =v^{q_1}(1,t) , & t\in (0,T) , \\ (| v_x| ^{m_2-1}v_x) (0,t) =0,(| v_x| ^{m_2-1}v_x) (1,t) =u^{q_2}(1,t) , & t\in (0,T) , \\ u(x,0) =u_0(x) ,v(x,0) =v_0(x) , & x\in [0,1], \end{cases}\tag{1} \] where \(m_i,n_i,p_i,q_i>0,i=1,2.\) (1) can be used, for example, to describe mixed-fluid flowing trough homogeneous isotropic rigid porous media with coupling inner and boundary sources. The authors are interested in the existence and nonexistence of global weak solutions. The main results of the paper are stated in the following theorems: \textbf{Theorem.} Assume \(n_1\leq m_1,n_2\leq m_2.\) Then (1) admits global solutions if and only if \[ \max (p_1p_2,p_1q_2,p_2q_1,q_1q_2) \leq n_1n_2. \] \textbf{Theorem.} Assume \(n_1>m_1,n_2>m_2.\) Then (1) admits global solutions if and only if \[ \begin{gathered} p_1p_2 \leq n_1n_2,\quad p_1q_2\leq n_1\frac{m_2(n_2+1) }{m_2+1},\\ p_2q_1 \leq n_2\frac{m_1(n_1+1) }{m_1+1},\quad q_1q_2\leq \frac{ m_1(n_1+1) }{m_1+1}\frac{m_2(n_2+1) }{m_2+1}. \end{gathered} \] \textbf{Theorem.} Assume \(n_1\leq m_1,n_2>m_2.\) Then (1) admits global solutions if and only if \[ \max (p_1p_2,p_2q_1) \leq n_1n_2,\quad \max (p_1q_2,q_1q_2) \leq n_1\frac{m_2(n_2+1) }{m_2+1}. \] \textbf{Theorem.} Assume \(n_1>m_1,n_2\leq m_2.\) Then \((1) \) admits global solutions if and only if \[ \max (p_1p_2,p_1q_2) \leq n_1n_2,\quad \max (p_2q_1,q_1q_2) \leq n_2\frac{m_1(n_1+1) }{m_1+1}. \]
