Abstract

We will look at reaction-diffusion type equations of the following type, tβV(t,x)=(Δ)α/2V(t,x)+It1β[V(t,x)1+η].\partial^\beta_tV(t,x)=-(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} V(t,x)+I^{1-\beta}_t[V(t,x)^{1+\eta}]. We first study the equation on the whole space by making sense of it via an integral equation. Roughly speaking, we will show that when 0<ηηc0<\eta\leq\eta_c, there is no global solution other than the trivial one while for η>ηc\eta>\eta_c, non-trivial global solutions do exist. We also study the equation on a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary condition and show that the presence of the time derivative induces a significant change in the behaviour of the solution.
