Abstract

In this paper, we consider the following complex-valued semilinear heat equation \begin{eqnarray*} \partial_t u = \Delta u + u^p, u \in \mathbb{C}, \end{eqnarray*} in the whole space Rn\mathbb{R}^n, where pN,p2 p \in \mathbb{N}, p \geq 2. We aim at constructing for this equation a complex solution u=u1+iu2u = u_1 + i u_2, which blows up in finite time TT and only at one blowup point aa, with the following estimates for the final profile \begin{eqnarray*} u(x,T) &\sim & \left[ \frac{(p-1)^2 |x-a|^2}{ 8 p |\ln|x-a||}\right]^{-\frac{1}{p-1}}, u_2(x,T) &\sim & \frac{2 p}{(p-1)^2} \left[ \frac{ (p-1)^2|x-a|^2}{ 8p |\ln|x-a||}\right]^{-\frac{1}{p-1}}\frac{1}{ |\ln|x-a||} , \text{ as } x \to a. \end{eqnarray*} Note that the imaginary part is non-zero and that it blows up also at point aa. Our method relies on two main arguments: the reduction of the problem to a finite dimensional one and a topological argument based on the index theory to get the conclusion. Up to our knowledge, this is the first time where the blowup behavior of the imaginary part is derived in multi-dimension.
