), we not only prove the existence of global weak solutions for these problems by the combination of the Galerkin approximation and potential well methods but also obtain the finite time blow-up result by adopting the potential well and improved concavity skills. Finally, we also discussed the finite time blow-up phenomenon for certain solutions of these problems with high initial energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
