BLOW-UP OF SOLUTIONS OF A SEMILINEAR HEAT EQUATION WITH A MEMORY TERM SALIM A. MESSAOUDI Received 26 May 2004 We consider an initial boundary value problem related to the equation ut − ∆u + t g (t − 0 p −2 s)∆u(x,s)ds = |u | u and prove, under suitable conditions on g and p , a blow-up result for certain solutions with positive initial energy. 1. Introduction In this paper, we are concerned with the finite-time blow-up of solutions for the initial boundary value problem t p −2 ut − ∆u + g (t −s)∆u(x,s)ds = |u | u, x ∈ Ω, t 0, 0 u(x, t) = 0, x ∈ ∂Ω, t ≥ 0, (1.1) u(x,0) = u (x ), x ∈ Ω, 0 where g : R+ → R+ is a bounded C1 function, p 2, and Ω is a bounded domain of Rn (n ≥ 1), with a smooth boundary ∂Ω. This equation arises from a variety of mathematical models in engineering and physi- cal sciences. For example, in the study of heat conduction in materials with memory, the classical Fourier’s law of heat flux is replaced by the following form: t q = −d ∇u − ∇ k(x, t)u(x, τ ) dτ, (1.2) −∞ where u is the temperature, d is the diffusion coefficient, and the integral term represents the memory effect in the material. The study of this type of equations has drawn a con- siderable attention, see [3, 4, 10, 12, 13]. From a mathematical point of view, one would expect the integral term to be dominated by the leading term in the equation. Therefore, the theory of paraboli
