Abstract
The initial boundary value problem of wave equations and reaction-diffusion equations with several nonlinear source terms in a bounded domain is studied by potential well method. The invariance of some sets under the flow of these problems and the vacuum isolation of solutions are obtained by introducing a family of potential wells. Then the threshold result of global existence and nonexistence of solutions are given. Finally, the problem with critical initial conditions are discussed.
