Abstract In this paper, we investigate the Dirichlet problem for a degenerate parabolic equation ut – um = a(x)up (0, t) + b(x)uq (x, t). We prove that under certain conditions the solutions have global blow-up, and the rate of blow-up is uniform in all compact subsets of the domain. Moreover, the blow-up profile is precisely determined. Keywords: degenerate parabolic equation; localized source; uniform blow-up rate
1 Introduction In this paper, we consider the following parabolic equation with nonlocal and localized reaction: ut – um = a(x)up (, t) + b(x)uq (x, t), u(x, τ ) = ,
x ∈ , < t < T ∗ ,
(.)
x ∈ ∂, t > ,
(.)
x ∈ ,
(.)
u(x, ) = u (x),
where is an open ball of RN , N ≥ with radius R, and p ≥ q > m > . Many of localized problems arise in applications and have been widely studied. Equations (.)-(.), as a kind of porous medium equation, can be used to describe some physical phenomena such as chemical reactions due to catalysis and an ignition model for a reaction gas (see [–]). As for our problem (.)-(.), to our best knowledge, many works have been devoted to the case m = (see [–]). Let us mention, for instance, when a(x) = b(x) = , blow-up properties have been investigated by Okada and Fukuda []. Moreover, they proved that if p ≥ q > and u (x) is sufficiently large, every radial symmetric solution (maximal solution) has a global blow-up and the solution satisfies –/(p–) –/(p–) ≤ u(x, t) ≤ C T ∗ – t , C T ∗ – t

in all compact subsets of as t is near the blow-up time T ∗ , where C and C are two positive constants. Souplet [, ] investigated that global blow-up solutions have uniform blow-up estimates in all compact subsets of the domain. The work of this paper is motivated by the localized semi-linear problem ut – um = λ up (, t) + λ uq (x, t),
x ∈ , < t < T ∗ ,

with Dirichlet boundary condition (.) and initial condition (.). In the case of m = and m > , the uniform blow-up profiles were studied in [, ] and [], respectively. It seems that the result of [, , ] can be extended to λ and λ are two functions. Motivated by this, in this paper, we extend and improve the results of [, , ]. Our approach is different from those previously used in blow-up rate
