Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of semilinear degenerate elliptic boundary-value problems arising in combustion theory that obey a general Arrhenius equation and a general Newton law of heat exchange. We prove that ignition and extinction phenomena occur in the stable steady temperature profile at some critical values of a dimensionless rate of heat production.
