Abstract

We study the long time behaviour of solutions of semi-linear parabolic equation of the following type tuΔu+a0(x)uq=0\partial_t u-\Delta u+a_0(x)u^q=0 where a0(x)d0exp(ω(x)x2)a_0(x) \geq d_0 \exp(\frac{\omega(|x|)}{|x|^2}), d0>0d_0>0, 1>q>01>q>0 and ω\omega a positive continuous radial function. We give a Dini-like condition on the function ω\omega by two different method which implies that any solution of the above equation vanishes in a finite time. The first one is a variant of a local energy method and the second one is derived from semi-classical limits of some Schr\"odinger operators.
