Abstract

In this paper, we consider non-negative solutions ofut = Δu + vp, vt = Δv in Ω × (0,∞),∂u/∂ν = 0, ∂v/∂ν = uq on ∂Ω × (0,∞),u(x, 0) = u0(x), v(x, 0) = v0(x) in Ω.We prove that if pq ≤ 1, every solution is global while if pq > 1, all solutions blow up in finite time. We also show that if p, q ≥ 1, then blow-up can occur only on the boundary.
