Blow-up theory for nonlinear deterministic and stochastic partial differential equations

1. Introduction to the concept of blow-up

2. Finite-time Blow-up: ODEs vs PDEs

3. Main methods for proving the existence of finite-time blow-up for some key nonlinear PDEs.

4. Some techniques for proving finite-time blow-up for some stochastic partial differentials equations (SPDEs).

The lecture will be held by Professor Nikos Kavallaris, University of Chester, UK
