Abstract:

The gradient blowup of the equation ut = Δu + a(x)|∇u|p + h(x), where p > 2,  is studied. It is shown that the gradient blowup rate will never match that of the self-similar variables. The exact blowup rate for radial solutions is established under the assumptions on the initial data so that the solution is monotonically increasing in time.

Key words: Gradient blowup, Hamilton-Jacobi equation, inhomogeneous
