The issues of local well-posedness and smoothness of the solutions are discussed. The existence of a global solution is proved first in the sublinear case and then for nonlinearities of degree at most three. The conditions for finite-time blow-up of solutions are established.engopenAccessarticle25284392440900030086130000310.1016/j.jde.2012.01.008Nonlocal cauchy problemNonlinear peridynamic equationGlobal existenceBlow-up2-s2.0-84856769497
