This paper deals with the blow-up properties of solutions to semilinear heat equation ut-uxx= up in (0, 1) × (0, T) with the Neumann boundary condition ux(0, t) = 0, u:x1, t) = 1 on [0, T).

The necessary and sufficient conditions under which all solutions to have a finite time blow-up and the exact blow-up rates are established. It is proved that the blow-up will occur only at the boundary x = 1. The asymptotic behavior near the blow-up time is also studied.展开更多
