Abstract: This paper deals with finite time quenching for one-dimensional heat equations coupled via negative singular boundary sources in the more general product form of two component powers u(-p1) v(-q1) and u(-p2) v(-q2). Differently from the generally considered, there are two additional singular factors, namely, u(-p1) and v(-q2) for the boundary sources of u and v, respectively. We at first propose a criterion to distinguish simultaneous and non-simultaneous quenching, and then determine all possible blow-up rates in the model, three for simultaneous quenching and two for non-simultaneous quenching, under different nominations. This shows real contributions of the two additional singular factors to the quenching behavior of solutions. (c) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
