Incomplete self-similar blow-up in a semilinear fourth-order reaction-diffusion equation

Analysis of PDEs 2009-02-09 v1

Abstract

It is shown that self-similar blow-up for a fourth-order reaction-diffusion equation is incomplete in the sense that, in general, there exists a self-similar extension of solutions after blow-up. Other types of complete blow-up of non self-similar form are discussed.
