Abstract

The paper deals with local well--posedness, global existence and blow--up results for reaction--diffusion equations coupled with nonlinear dynamical boundary conditions. The typical problem studied is \[\begin{cases} u_{t}-\Delta u=|u|^{p-2} u in (0,\infty)\times\Omega,\\ u=0 on [0,\infty) \times \Gamma_{0},\\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu} = -|u_{t}|^{m-2}u_{t} on [0,\infty)\times\Gamma_{1},\\ u(0,x)=u_{0}(x) in \Omega \end{cases}\] where $\Omega$ is a bounded open regular domain of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ ($n\geq 1$), $\partial\Omega=\Gamma_0\cup\Gamma_1$, $2\le p\le 1+2^*/2$, $m>1$ and $u_0\in H^1(\Omega)$, ${u_0}_{|\Gamma_0}=0$. After showing local well--posedness in the Hadamard sense we give global existence and blow--up results when $\Gamma_0$ has positive surface measure. Moreover we discuss the generalization of the above mentioned results to more general problems where the terms $|u|^{p-2}u$ and $|u_{t}|^{m-2}u_{t}$ are respectively replaced by $f\left(x,u\right)$ and $Q(t,x,u_t)$ under suitable assumptions on them.
