Abstract

We study the limit, when kk\to\infty, of the solutions u=uku=u_{k} of (E) \prttuΔu+h(t)uq=0\prt_{t}u-\Delta u+ h(t)u^q=0 in \BBRN\ti(0,)\BBR^N\ti (0,\infty), uk(.,0)=kδ0u_{k}(.,0)=k\delta_{0}, with q>1q>1, h(t)>0h(t)>0. If h(t)=e\gw(t)/th(t)=e^{-\gw(t)/t} where \gw>0\gw>0 satisfies to 01\gw(t)t1dt<\int_{0}^1\sqrt{\gw(t)}t^{-1}dt<\infty, the limit function uu_{\infty} is a solution of (E) with a single singularity at (0,0)(0,0), while if \gw(t)1\gw(t)\equiv 1, uu_{\infty} is the maximal solution of (E). We examine similar questions for equations such as \prttu\Gdum+h(t)uq=0\prt_{t}u-\Gd u^m+ h(t)u^q=0 with m>1m>1 and \prttu\Gdu+h(t)eu=0\prt_{t}u-\Gd u+ h(t)e^{u}=0.
