Given a bounded domain \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n\) with smooth boundary \(\partial\Omega\), we study the parabolic problem \[ {\partial u\over\partial t}-\Delta u= f(u)\quad\text{in }\Omega\times (0,T),\quad u|_{\partial\Omega}= 0,\quad u|_{t=0}= u_0(x) \] for \(f(u)= \lambda_0 e^u\), \(\lambda_0\) being a constant. The maximal time for the existence of the classical solution is denoted by \(T_{\max}\). First theorem is stated as follows. Theorem 1. Let \(v\in C^4(\overline\Omega)\) satisfy \[ \Delta^2v+ \lambda_0 e^v|\nabla v|^2\geq (\Delta v)^2\quad\text{in }\Omega,\quad \Delta v+ \lambda_0= v= 0\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega \] and \(\{x\in\Omega\mid -\Delta v(x)< \lambda_0 e^{v(x)}\}\neq \emptyset\). Then \(T_{\max}<+\infty\), provided that \(u_0\geq v\) in \(\Omega\). Moreover, for any \(K>0\) there exists some \(r\in (0,1]\) satisfying \[ \lim_{t\uparrow T_{\max}} u(x,t)\geq 2\log{1\over| x|}+ K\quad (0<| x|<r). \] Related to the above theorem we have the following. Theorem 2. If \(n\leq 5\) and \(\lambda_0>\overline\lambda\), there exists a function \(v(x)\) satisfying the assumptions of the previous theorem. Here, \(\overline\lambda\) denotes the supremum of \(\lambda\) for the existence of a classical solution of \(-\Delta v=\lambda e^v\) in \(\Omega\), \(v=0\) on \(\partial\Omega\).
