Abstract

In this paper, we consider the following initial-boundary value problem \[ \begin{cases} u_{tt}(x, t) = \varepsilon Lu(x, t) + b(t)f(u(x, t)) ,\,\,\,\,\, \texttt{in} \qquad\Omega\times (0, T),\\ u(x, t) = 0 ,\,\,\,\,\, \texttt{on} \qquad\partial\Omega\times (0, T),\\ u(x, 0) = 0 ,\,\,\,\,\, \texttt{in}\qquad \Omega,\\ u_t(x, 0) = 0 ,\,\,\,\,\, \texttt{in}\qquad \Omega, \end{cases} \] where \(\varepsilon\) is a positive parameter, \(b \in C^1(\mathbb{R}_+), b(t) > 0, b' (t)\geq 0, t \in \mathbb{R}_+, f(s) \) is a positive, increasing and convex function for nonnegative values of s. Under some assumptions, we show that, if \(\varepsilon\) is small enough, then the solution u of the above problem blows up in a finite time, and its blow-up time tends to that of the solution of the following differential equation \[ \begin{cases} \alpha' (t) = b(t)f(\alpha(t)),\quad t > 0,\\ \alpha(0) = 0, \alpha'(0) = 0. \end{cases} \] Finally, we give some numerical results to illustrate our analysis.
