Abstract

We investigate the long-time behavior of global solutions to the energy critical heat equation in R5R^5 \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \pp_t u=\Delta u+|u|^{\frac{4}{3}} u ~&\mbox{ in }~ R^5 \times (t_0,\infty), u(\cdot,t_0)=u_0~&\mbox{ in }~ R^5. \end{cases} \end{equation*} For t0t_0 sufficiently large, we show the existence of positive solutions for a class of initial value u0(x)xγu_0(x)\sim |x|^{-\gamma} as x|x|\rightarrow \infty with γ>32\gamma>\frac32 such that the global solutions behave asymptotically \begin{equation*} \| u(\cdot,t) \|_{L^\infty (\R^5)} \sim \begin{cases} t^{-\frac{3(2-\gamma)}{2}} ~&\mbox{ if }~ \frac32<\gamma<2 (\ln t)^{-3} ~&\mbox{ if }~ \gamma=2 1 ~&\mbox{ if }~ \gamma>2 \end{cases} \mbox{ \ for \ } t >t_0, \end{equation*} which is slower than the self-similar time decay t34t^{-\frac{3}{4}}. These rates are inspired by Fila-King \cite[Conjecture 1.1]{FilaKing12}.
