Fujita type results for quasilinear parabolic inequalities with nonlocal terms

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper we investigate the nonexistence of nonnegative solutions of parabolic inequalities of the form</p><p style='text-indent:20px;'><disp-formula> <label/> <tex-math id="FE1"> \begin{document}$ \begin{cases} &amp;u_t \pm L_\mathcal A u\geq (K\ast u^p)u^q \quad\mbox{ in } \mathbb R^N \times \mathbb (0,\infty),\, N\geq 1,\\ &amp;u(x,0) = u_0(x)\ge0 \,\, \text{ in } \mathbb R^N,\end{cases} \qquad (P^{\pm}) $\end{document} </tex-math></disp-formula></p><p style='text-indent:20px;'>where <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ u_0\in L^1_{loc}({\mathbb R}^N) $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ L_{\mathcal{A}} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> denotes a weakly <inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ m $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>-coercive operator, which includes as prototype the <inline-formula><tex-math id="M4">\begin{document}$ m $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>-Laplacian or the generalized mean curvature operator, <inline-formula><tex-math id="M5">\begin{document}$ p,\,q&gt;0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, while <inline-formula><tex-math id="M6">\begin{document}$ K\ast u^p $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> stands for the standard convolution operator between a weight <inline-formula><tex-math id="M7">\begin{document}$ K&gt;0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> satisfying suitable conditions at infinity and <inline-formula><tex-math id="M8">\begin{document}$ u^p $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. For problem <inline-formula><tex-math id="M9">\begin{document}$ (P^-) $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> we obtain a Fujita type exponent while for <inline-formula><tex-math id="M10">\begin{document}$ (P^+) $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> we show that no such critical exponent exists. Our approach relies on nonlinear capacity estimates adapted to the nonlocal setting of our problems. No comparison results or maximum principles are required.</p>
