Abstract: Nonlinear partial differential equations appear in many domains of physics, and we study here a typical equation which one finds in effective field theories (EFT) originated from cosmological studies. In particular, we are interested in the equation $$ in $1+1$ dimensions. It has been known for quite some time that solutions to this equation diverge in finite time, when $alpha>0$. We study the nature of this divergence as a function of the parameters $alpha>0$ and $$. The divergence does not disappear even when $$ is very large contrary to what one might believe (note that since we consider fixed initial data, $alpha$ and $$ cannot be scaled away). But it will take longer to appear as $$ increases when $alpha$ is fixed. We note that there are two types of divergence and we discuss the transition between these two as a function of parameter choices. The blowup is unavoidable unless the corresponding equations are modified. Our results extend to $3+1$ dimensions.
