Abstract

We establish the existence of locally positive weak solutions to the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for ut = uΔu + u ∫Ω |∇u|2 in bounded domains Ω ⊂ ℝn which arises in game theory. We prove that solutions converge to 0 if the initial mass is small, whereas they undergo blow-up in finite time if the initial mass is large. In particular, it is shown that in this case the blow-up set coincides with Ω; i.e., the finite-time blow-up is global.
