Abstract
Considered herein is the initial-boundary value problem for a semilinear parabolic equation with a memory term and non-local source on a manifold with conical singularity, where the Fuchsian type Laplace operator is an asymmetry elliptic operator with conical degeneration on the boundary . Firstly, we discuss the symmetrical structure of invariant sets with the help of potential well theory. Then, the problem can be decomposed into two symmetric cases: if and , the global existence for the weak solutions will be discussed by a series of energy estimates under some appropriate assumptions on the relaxation function, initial data and the symmetric structure of invariant sets. On the contrary, if and , the nonexistence of global solutions, i.e., the solutions blow up in finite time, is obtained by using the convexity technique.
1. Introduction
In this paper, the author studied the initial boundary value problem for the following semilinear parabolic equation with non-local source and conical singularity
where the initial data , where , and X is an ()-dimensional closed compact manifold. is the unit normal vector pointing toward the exterior of . We also assume that the volume . Moreover, the Fuchsian-type Laplace operator in (1) is defined by and is an asymmetry elliptic operator with conical degeneration on the boundary , and the divergence operator is defined by . The corresponding gradient operator is denoted by . In the neighbourhood of , we will use the coordinates for . The function g represents the relaxation function (or kernel of the memory term). The problem (1)–(3) can be decomposed into two symmetric cases: if , then . On the contrary, if , we have .
This type of equation describes a variety of important physical processes, such as the analysis of heat conduction in materials with memory and viscous flow in materials with memory, and arises in the model of phenomena in population dynamics, biological sciences [1] and nuclear sciences [2]. In recent years, the nonlinear heat equations and thin-film equations with a nonlocal source have attracted many authors’ attention (see [1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16] and papers cited therein). Not only were the existence and uniqueness results obtained, but some other properties of solutions, such as blow-up, asymptotic behavior and regularity, were also investigated. For example, Soufi, Jazar and Monneau [3] considered the initial boundary value problem for the following semilinear parabolic equation:
They constructed a symmetrical situation: for the case , Soufi et al. [3] obtained a blow-up criterion by using the maximum principle. For the case , Jazar and Kiwan in [4] established the blow-up result in finite time with the initial energy being non-positive. Qu et al. [7,8] considered the p-Laplace equation
with a nonlinear source. For Equation (5), the authors obtained the nonexistence of global sign-changing weak solutions in the case of a slow diffusive type (). At the same time, the fast diffusive type () was also studied. More recently, Guo et al. [9] established a non-extinction result for the changing sign solutions with negative initial energy. Their results gave an answer to Equation (5), unsolved in [8] for . For more works on the above problems, we refer the reader to [10,11,12,13,14,15,16] and references therein.
Another interesting type of model is the evolution equation with conical singularity (see [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27]). Chen et al. established some classic inequalities on the cone Sobolev spaces in [17,18]. On this basis, they obtained the existence and blow-up results using potential well methods for the following equation on a manifold with conical singularity [19],
Later, Li et al. [20] studied the global existence and finite time blow-up of weak solutions for a class of semilinear pseudo-parabolic equation with conical singularity.
In the absence of memory term , the model (1) is reduced to a nonlocal semilinear equation with damping terms , which appears in the study of thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, filtration theory, etc. (see [28,29]). Regarding the qualitative properties for parabolic Equation (1) without g, many authors have focused attention on this equation for quite a long time. Di and Shang [21] considered the nonlocal nonlinear parabolic equation
with conical degeneration. The authors studied global existence, nonexistence and general decay of the solutions by constructing a modified method of the potential well.
Regarding the works mentioned above, we remark that for the nonlocal semilinear pseudo-parabolic equation with conical degeneration, most experts have been concerned with the global well-posedness of initial-boundary value problems without the kernel of the memory term g (see [20,21]). However, to the best of our knowledge, there is little information involving the global existence and blow-up phenomenon of the above problems with the memory term g on a manifold with conical singularity. Majdoub and Mliki in [30] considered local existence and uniqueness for the nonlinear integro-differential equations of parabolic type under the effect of an additive fractional Brownian noise with Hurst parameter . El-Borai et al. [31] studied the existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions for the fractional parabolic integro-partial differential equations without any restrictions on the characteristic forms when the Hurst parameter of the fractional Brownian motion is less than half. Hence, the goal of the present work is to study the global existence and blow-up phenomenon for the initial-value problem (1)–(3).
In practical applications, compared with the case (), the problem (1)–(3) can describe some physical phenomena more accurately. Naturally, we want to know what will happen to the qualitative properties of the solutions for the problem (1)–(3), and in particular whether the appearance of the memory term will have and influence on the blow-up results of reference [21]. This question is a very interesting and eye-opening. In mathematics studies, the memory term , damping term, non-local source and conical singularity simultaneously appear in the initial-boundary value problem (1)–(3), which causes some difficulties in the method of the proof when we consider the qualitative theory of the solutions. In particular, the interactions among the above terms mean that it requires a rather delicate analysis. Thus, we need to utilize some new skills and methods to overcome these above difficulties. In doing so, the first intention of this paper is to prove the global existence of the solutions with the number of a priori estimates by the combination of potential well and monotonicity-compactness methods. Another goal in this paper is to investigate the finite time blow-up phenomena of the solutions by means of the perturbed energy method and integro-differential inequalities.
This article is organized as follows. In Section 2, we recall the cone Sobolev spaces, introduce some function spaces and important lemmas and state the main results of this paper. In Section 3, we give some properties associated with the potential wells and the symmetric structure of invariant sets to the problem (1)–(3), which is useful in the process of our main results. In Section 4, we give the proofs for the results of global existence and finite time blowup for our problems. Finally, the main results are summarized and we briefly illustrate the results of the paper with one example.

4. Proofs of the Main Results
In this section, we prove the main results by making use of the family of potential wells introduced above.
Proof of Theorem 1.

The eigenfunctions are orthogonal in and scalar product. Now, we construct the following approximate solution of problems (1)–(3):

It is easy to obtain as . This gives an initial value problem of an ordinary differential equation system
It is easy to find that the above problem admits a local solution.Next, we show that the sign-changing weak solution of problem (1)–(3) can be approximated by the function . Multiplying (34) by , summing for s, and integrating from 0 to t, we obtain
By (34), we can find ; then, for sufficiently large m, we have

This implies for is a positive constant.
From what has been discussed above, we have
By (45), there exists a positive constant such that
Then, we deduce that
Then,
Then, since a concave function must lie below any tangent line, we can see that
or
We choose T large enough such that
Thus, from the last above inequality, it follows that the interval of existence of solutions must be contained in . Hence, there exists , such that
i.e.,
This contradicts our assumption.This completes the proof of this theorem. □
5. Conclusions
