Abstract:

This paper establishes a new criterion for global existence and nonexistence of positive solutions of the non-local degenerate parabolic system \begin{align*} u_t&=v^p\left (\Delta u+a\int _\Omega v dx\right ), v_t&=u^q\left (\Delta v+b\int _\Omega u dx\right ),\quad x\in \Omega , t>0, \end{align*} with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N$ is a bounded domain with a smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$ and $p, q, a, b$ are positive constants. For all initial data, it is proved that there exists a global positive solution iff $\int _\Omega \varphi (x) dx\leq 1/\sqrt {ab}$, where $\varphi (x)$ is the unique positive solution of the linear elliptic problem $-\Delta \varphi (x)=1, x\in \Omega ; \varphi (x)=0, x\in \partial \Omega .$
