Abstract

We classify the self-similar blow-up profiles for the following reaction-diffusion equation with critical strong weighted reaction and unbounded weight: tu=xx(um)+xσup, \partial_tu=\partial_{xx}(u^m) + |x|^{\sigma}u^p, posed for xx\in\real, t0t\geq0, where m>1m>1, 0<p<10<p<1 such that m+p=2m+p=2 and σ>2\sigma>2 completing the analysis performed in a recent work where this very interesting critical case was left aside. We show that finite time blow-up solutions in self-similar form exist for σ>2\sigma>2. Moreover all the blow-up profiles have compact support and their supports are \emph{localized}: there exists an explicit η>0\eta>0 such that any blow-up profile satisfies suppf[0,η]{\rm supp}\,f\subseteq[0,\eta]. This property is unexpected and contrasting with the range m+p>2m+p>2. We also classify the possible behaviors of the profiles near the origin.
