Blowup for the C^1 Solutions of the Euler-Poisson Equations of Gaseous Stars in R^N

TL;DR

This paper investigates the finite-time blowup of classical solutions to the Euler-Poisson equations modeling gaseous stars, providing new conditions under which solutions become singular, especially for pressureless and pressure-including cases.

Contribution

The study extends blowup results for $C^{1}$ solutions of the Euler-Poisson system with attractive forces, filling gaps in understanding the influence of pressure and boundary conditions.

Findings

Blowup occurs before finite time under certain initial conditions.

Results cover both pressureless and pressure-including systems.

Extends previous work to more general boundary and initial conditions.

Abstract

The Newtonian Euler-Poisson equations with attractive forces are the classical models for the evolution of gaseous stars and galaxies in astrophysics. In this paper, we use the integration method to study the blowup problem of the $N$-dimensional system with adiabatic exponent $\gamma>1$, in radial symmetry. We could show that the $C^{1}$ non-trivial classical solutions $(\rho,V)$, with compact support in $[0,R]$, where $R>0$ is a positive constant with $\rho(t,r)=0$ and $V(t,r)=0$ for $r\geq R$, under the initial condition \begin{equation} H_{0}=\int_{0}^{R}r^{n}V_{0}dr>\sqrt{\frac{2R^{2n-N+4}M}{n(n+1)(n-N+2)}}% \end{equation} with an arbitrary constant $n>\max(N-2,0),$\newline blow up before a finite time $T$ for pressureless fluids or $\gamma>1.$ Our results could fill some gaps about the blowup phenomena to the classical $C^{1}$ solutions of that attractive system with pressure under the first boundary condition.\newline In addition, the corresponding result for the repulsive systems is also provided. Here our result fully covers the previous case for $n=1$ in "M.W.
