Abstract

This paper deals with the upper bound of the life span of classical solutions to □u = ∣u∣^p^, u∣~t = 0~ = εφ(x), u~t~∣~t=0~ = εψ(x) with the critical power of p in two or three space dimensions. Zhou has proved that the rate of the upper bound of this life span is exp(ε^−p(p−1)^). But his proof, especially the two‐dimensional case, requires many properties of special functions. Here we shall give simple proofs in each space dimension which are produced by pointwise estimates of the fundamental solution of □. We claim that both proofs are done in almost the same way.

## Communicated by Marek Fila We consider the blow-up of solutions for a semilinear reaction-diffusion equation with exponential reaction term. It is known that certain solutions that can be continued beyond the blow-up time possess a non-constant self-similar blowup profile. Our aim is to find th

We study on the initial-boundary value problem for some degenerate non-linear wave equations of Kirchhoff type with a strong dissipation: When the initial energy associated with the equations is non-negative and small, a unique (weak) solution exists globally in time and has some decay properties.
