Blow-up Sets to a Coupled Heat System

Abstract

This paper deals with a heat system coupled via local and localized sources subject to null Dirichlet boundary conditions. In a previous paper of the authors, a complete result on the multiple blow-up rates was obtained. In the present paper, we continue to consider the blow-up sets to the system via a complete classification for the nonlinear parameters. That is the discussion on single point versus total blow-up of the solutions. It is mentioned that due to the influence of the localized sources, there is some substantial difficulty to be overcomed there to deal with the single point blow-up of the solutions.
