Abstract

We consider the semilinear fully fractional heat equation (tΔ)σu=up1uin Rn×R,0<σ<1. (\partial_t-\Delta)^\sigma u = |u|^{p-1}u \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}_{-}, \qquad 0 < \sigma < 1. For n2σn\leq 2\sigma or 1<pn+2σn2σ1<p\leq \frac{n+2\sigma}{n-2\sigma}, we generalize the monotonicity formula and Liouville-type theorem when σ=1\sigma=1 proved by Giga and Kohn. In order to overcome the difficulty that this equation is nonlocal, we give a new interpretation of the classical Giga-Kohn's Pohozaev identity in terms of Hermite expansion. This insight is new and interesting even for σ=1\sigma=1. We further establish a space-time nonlocal monotonicity formula for the self-similar equation. As far as we are concerned, this is the first monotonicity formula for space-time nonlocal equations without using an extension by Stinga and Torrea.
