Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear heat equation utΔu=ub, u(0,x)=u0u_t -\Delta u= u^{b},\ u(0,x)=u_0, with b2b\geq 2 and bNb\in \mathbb{N}. We prove that initial data u0S(Rn)u_0\in \mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) (the Schwartz class)arbitrarily small in the scale invariant Besov-normB˙n(b1)b/2,q2/b(Rn)\dot B^{-2/b}_{n(b-1) b/2,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), can produce solutions that blow up in finite time. The case b=3b=3 answers a question raised by Yves Meyer.Our result also proves that the smallness assumption put in an earlier work by C. Miao, B.~Yuan and B. Zhang, for the global-in-time solvability, is essentially optimal.
