Abstract

We prove existence and uniqueness of the branch of the so-called \emph{anomalous eternal solutions} in exponential self-similar form for the subcritical fast-diffusion equation with a weighted reaction term tu=Δum+xσup, \partial_tu=\Delta u^m+|x|^{\sigma}u^p, posed in N\real^N with N3N\geq3, where 0<m<mc=N2N,p>1, 0<m<m_c=\frac{N-2}{N}, \qquad p>1, and the critical value for the weight σ=2(p1)1m. \sigma=\frac{2(p-1)}{1-m}. The branch of exponential self-similar solutions behaves similarly as the well-established anomalous solutions to the pure fast diffusion equation, but without a finite time extinction or a finite time blow-up, and presenting instead a \emph{change of sign of both self-similar exponents} at m=ms=(N2)/(N+2)m=m_s=(N-2)/(N+2), leading to surprising qualitative differences. In this sense, the reaction term we consider realizes a \emph{perfect equilibrium} in the competition between the fast diffusion and the reaction effects.
