Abstract

This paper deals with p-Laplacian systems utdiv(|u|p2u)=Ωvα(x, t)dx, xΩ, t>0, vtdiv(|v|q2v)=Ωuβ(x,t)dx, xΩ, t>0, with null Dirichlet boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain ΩN, where p,q2, α,β1. We first get the nonexistence result for related elliptic systems of nonincreasing positive solutions. Secondly by using this nonexistence result, blow up estimates for above p-Laplacian systems with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary value conditions are obtained under Ω=BR={xN:|x|<R} (R>0). Then under appropriate hypotheses, we establish local theory of the solutions and obtain that the solutions either exist globally or blow up in finite time.
