GLOBAL EXISTENCE AND BLOW UP OF SOLUTIONS TO A CLASS OF PSEUDO-PARABOLIC EQUATIONS WITH AN EXPONENTIAL SOURCE

In this paper, a class of pseudo-parabolic equations with an exponential source is concerned. First, by the elliptic regularity theory, we establish the local existence and uniqueness of solutions. Sequently, the global existence and blow up of solutions with lower initial energy is considered via the potential wells method. Finally, we find a sufficient condition under which the solution blows up without any limit of initial energy by constructing a new functional which falls between the energy functional and Nehari functional. During this process, the properties of global solutions are also studied.
