Nonlinear elliptic–parabolic problem involving p-Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator with critical exponent

Abstract We consider the nonlinear elliptic–parabolic boundary value problem involving the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator of p-Laplace type at the critical Sobolev exponent. We first obtain the existence and asymptotic estimates of the global solution, and the sufficient conditions of finite time blowup of the solution by using the energy method. Second, we improve the regularity of solution by Moser-type iteration. Finally, we analyze the long-time asymptotic behavior of the global solution. Moreover, with the help of the concentration compactness principle, we present a precise description of the concentration phenomenon of the solution in the forward time infinity.
