Blow up of positive solutions for a family of nonlinear parabolic equations in general domain in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) (Q1884410)

Let \(\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N\) have a smooth boundary, \(p,q>1\), \(a\geq0\), \(p>2\) if \(a=0\). The authors provide various conditions on \(\Omega\) and \(u_0\) guaranteeing global nonexistence of solutions of the problem \(u_t-\Delta u=| \nabla u| ^p+au^q\) in \(\Omega\times(0,\infty)\), \(u=0\) on \(\partial\Omega\times(0,\infty)\), \(u(\cdot,0)=u_0\geq0\). They also show that solutions of this problem cannot be global and bounded if \(\Omega\subset\mathbb R^1\) is bounded, \(p=q>2\), \(a<0\), \(| a| \ll1\) and \(u_0\) is large enough. The proof of inequality (3.43) is not correct but the inequality itself is true (with a possibly different constant) if \(p>3/2\).
