Abstract

We consider the semilinear wave equation with focusing energy-critical nonlinearity in space dimension 5 with radial data. It is known that a solution (u,tu)(u, \partial_t u) which blows up at t=0t = 0 in a neighborhood (in the energy norm) of the family of solitons WλW_\lambda, asymptotically decomposes in the energy space as a sum of a bubble WλW_\lambda and an asymptotic profile (u0,u1)(u_0^*, u_1^*), where limt0λ(t)/t=0\lim_{t\to 0}\lambda(t)/t = 0 and (u0,u1)H˙1×L2(u^*_0, u^*_1) \in \dot H^1\times L^2. We construct a blow-up solution of this type such that (u0,u1)(u^*_0, u^*_1) is any pair of sufficiently regular functions with u0(0)>0u_0^*(0) > 0. For these solutions the concentration rate is λ(t)t4\lambda(t) \sim t^4. We also provide examples of solutions with concentration rate λ(t)tν+1\lambda(t) \sim t^{\nu + 1} for ν>8\nu > 8, related to the behaviour of the asymptotic profile near the origin.
