# Blow-up for a non-local diffusion equation with exponential reaction term and Neumann boundary condition

• This paper deals with the blow-up for a non-local diffusion equation with exponential reaction term and Neumann boundary condition. The local existence and uniqueness of the solution are obtained. Furthermore, we prove that the solution of the equation blows up in finite time. Under appropriate hypotheses, we give the estimates of the blow-up rate, and obtain that the blow-up set is a single point $x=0$ for radially symmetric solution with a single maximum at the origin. Finally, some numerical experiments are performed, which illustrate our results.
