## A note on global well-posedness and blow-up of some semilinear evolution equations

 1 University Tunis El Manar, Faculty of Sciences of Tunis, Department of Mathematics, 2092, Tunis

Received  January 2015 Revised  July 2015 Published  September 2015

We investigate the initial value problems for some semilinear wave, heat and Schrödinger equations in two space dimensions, with exponential nonlinearities. Using the potential well method based on the concepts of invariant sets, we prove either global well-posedness or finite time blow-up.
