Controlled boundary explosions: dynamics after blow-up for some semilinear problems with global controls

The main goal of this paper is to show that the blow up phenomenon (the explosion of the $\rL^{\infty }$-norm) of the solutions of several classes of evolution problems can be controlled by means of suitable global controls $\alpha (t)$ ($i.e.$ only dependent on time) in such a way that the corresponding solution be well defined (as element of $\rL_{loc}^{1}(0,+\infty :\rX)$, for some functional space $\rX$) after the explosion time. We start by considering the case of an ordinary differential equation with a superlinear term and show that the controlled explosion property holds by using a delayed control (built through the solution of the problem and by generalizing the {\em nonlinear variation of constants formula}, due to V.M. Alekseev in 1961, to the case of {\em neutral delayed equations} (since the control is only in the space $\rW_{loc}^{-1,q\prime }(0,+\infty :\RR )$, for some $q>1$)$.$ We apply those arguments to the case of an evolution semilinear problem in which the differential equation is a semilinear elliptic equation with a superlinear absorption and the boundary condition is dynamic and involves the forcing superlinear term giving rise to the blow up phenomenon. We prove that, under a suitable balance between the forcing and the absorption terms, the blow up takes place only on the boundary of the spatial domain which here is assumed to be a ball $\rB_{\rR}$ and for a constant as initial datum.
