Classification of blow-up and global existence of solutions to an initial $\textrm{Neumann}$ problem

The aim of this paper is to apply the modified potential well method and some new differential inequalities to study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the initial homogeneous $\hbox{Neumann}$ problem of a nonlinear diffusion equation driven by the $p(x)$-\hbox{Laplace} operator. Complete classification of global existence and blow-up in finite time of solutions is given when the initial data satisfies different conditions. Roughly speaking, we obtain a threshold result for the solution to exist globally or to blow up in finite time when the initial energy is subcritical and critical, respectively. Further, the decay rate of the $L^2$ norm is also obtained for global solutions. Sufficient conditions for the existence of global and blow-up solutions are also provided for supercritical initial energy. At last, we give two-sided estimates of asymptotic behavior when the diffusion term dominates the source. This is a continuation of our previous work \cite{GG}.
