A time-space fractional reaction-diffusion equation in a bounded domain is considered. Under some conditions on the initial data, we show that solutions may experience blow-up in a finite time. However, for realistic initial conditions,…

Blow-up rates are established for general solutions to the quasilinear diffusion equation $$ \partial_tu=\Delta u^m+|x|^{\sigma}u^p, \quad (x,t)\in\mathbb{R}^N\times(0,T), $$ in the range of exponents $1<p<m$, $\sigma>0$. More precisely, if…
