Abstract
We show that spatial patterns ("hotspots") may form in the crime model ut = 1 u -χ u vv - uv,vt = v - v + uv, which we consider in ω = BR(0) n, R > 0, n ≥ 3 with > 0, χ > 0 and initial data u0, v0 with sufficiently large initial mass m:= ωu0. More precisely, for each T > 0 and fixed ω, χ and (large) m, we construct initial data v0 exhibiting the following unboundedness phenomenon: Given any M > 0, we can find > 0 such that the first component of the associated maximal solution becomes larger than M at some point in ω before the time T. Since the L1 norm of u is decreasing, this implies that some heterogeneous structure must form. We do this by first constructing classical solutions to the nonlocal scalar problem wt = w + m ωwχ-1wχ+1, from the solutions to the crime model by taking the limit 0 under the assumption that the unboundedness phenomenon explicitly does not occur on some interval (0,T). We then construct initial data for this scalar problem leading to blow-up before time T. As solutions to the scalar problem are unique, this proves our central result by contradiction.
