Blow-up phenomena for a nonlocal reaction-diffusion system with time-dependent coefficients are investigated under null Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using Kaplan's method with the comparison principle, we establish new blow-up criteria and obtain the upper bounds for the blow-up time of the solution under suitable measure sense in the whole-dimensional space.

In this paper, we are concerned with the blow-up phenomena for a class of pseudo-parabolic equations with weighted source u_t - △u - △u_t = a(x)f(u) subject to Dirichlet (or Neumann) boundary conditions in any smooth bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ (n ≥ 1). Firstly, we obtain the upper and lower bounds for blow-up time of solutions to these problems. Moreover, we also give the estimates of blow-up rate of solutions under some suitable conditions. Finally, three models are presented to illustrate our main results. In some special cases, we can even get some exact values of blow-up time and blow-up rate.

This paper deals with blow-up phenomena for an initial boundary value problem of a quasilinear parabolic equation with time-dependent coefficient in a bounded star-shaped region under nonlinear boundary flux. Using the auxiliary function method and differential inequality technique, we establish some conditions on time-dependent coefficient and nonlinear functions for which the solution u(x, t) exists globally or blows up at some finite time $t^*$. Moreover, some upper and lower bounds for $t^*$ are derived in higher dimensional spaces. Some examples are presented to illustrate applications of our results.
