Abstract

Let Ω\Omega be a smooth bounded domain in Rn\mathbb{R}^n and denote the regular part of the Green's function on Ω\Omega with Dirichlet boundary condition as H(x,y)H(x,y). Assume that qΩq \in \Omega and n5n\geq 5. We prove that there exists an integer k0k_0 such that for any integer kk0k\geq k_0 there exist initial data u0u_0 and smooth parameter functions ξ(t)q\xi(t)\to q, 0<μ(t)00<\mu(t)\to 0 as t+t\to +\infty such that the solution uqu_q of the critical nonlinear heat equation \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u_t = \Delta u + |u|^{\frac{4}{n-2}}u\text{ in } \Omega\times (0, \infty),\\ u = 0\text{ on } \partial \Omega\times (0, \infty),\\ u(\cdot, 0) = u_0 \text{ in }\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} has the form \begin{equation*} u_q(x, t) \approx \mu(t)^{-\frac{n-2}{2}}\left(Q_k\left(\frac{x-\xi(t)}{\mu(t)}\right) - H(x, q)\right), \end{equation*} where the profile QkQ_k is the non-radial sign-changing solution of the Yamabe equation \begin{equation*} \Delta Q + |Q|^{\frac{4}{n-2}}Q = 0\text{ in }\mathbb{R}^n, \end{equation*} constructed in \cite{delpinomussofrankpistoiajde2011}. In dimension 5 and 6, we also prove the stability of uq(x,t)u_q(x, t).
