TLDR
In this article, it was shown that for a large class of initial data, blow-up occurs at the boundary of the domain when the nonlinearity is no worse than quadratic.
Abstract
This paper treats a superlinear parabolic equation, degenerate in the time derivative. It is shown that the solution may blow up in finite time. Moreover, it is proved that for a large class of initial data, blow-up occurs at the boundary of the domain when the nonlinearity is no worse than quadratic. Various estimates are obtained which determine the asymptotic behaviour near the blow-up. The mathematical analysis is then extended to equations with other degeneracies.

Moving Mesh Methods for Problems with Blow-up

TL;DR: This paper considers moving mesh methods for which the mesh is determined using so-called moving mesh partial differential equations (MMPDEs), and it is shown that for suitable ones the MMPDE solution evolves towards a (moving) mesh which close to the blow-up point automatically places the mesh points in such a manner that the ignition kernel approaches a constant as $t\to T$ (theblow-up time).

On the computation of blow-up

TL;DR: In this article, a class of time-stepping strategies that correspond to a time-continuous re-scaling of the underlying differential equation is proposed; this class is analyzed and criteria established to determine suitable choices for the rescaling.
