The quenching of solutions to time-space fractional Kawarada problems

Quenching solutions to a Kawarada problem with a Caputo time-fractional derivative and a fractional Laplacian are considered. The solutions to such problems may only exist locally in time when quenching occurs. Quenching and non-quenching solutions are shown to remain positive and be monotonically increasing in time under minor restrictions. Conditions for quenching to occur are demonstrated and shown to depend on the domain size.
