Note on critical exponents for a system of heat equations coupled in the boundary conditions

This note establishes the blow up estimates near the blow up time for a system of heat equations coupled in the boundary conditions. Under certain assumptions, the exact rate of blow up is established. We also prove that the only solution with vanishing initial values whenpq ≥ 1 is the trivial one.
