Upper and lower bounds of blow-up time to a parabolic type Kirchhoff equation with arbitrary initial energy.

Abstract In this paper the authors deal with a class of parabolic type Kirchhoff equations, which were considered in Han and Li (2018), where global existence and finite time blow-up of solutions were studied when the initial energy was subcritical, critical and supercritical. Their results are complemented in this paper in the sense that a new blow-up criterion will be given for nonnegative initial energy and upper and lower bounds for blow-up time will be derived.
