Analysis of PDEs 2017-12-19 v1

Abstract

We consider the heat equation with a superlinear absorption term tuΔu=up\partial_{t} u-\Delta u= -u^{p} in Rn\mathbb{R}^n and study the existence and nonexistence of nonnegative solutions with an mm-dimensional time-dependent singular set, where nm3n-m\geq 3. First, we prove that if p(nm)/(nm2)p\geq (n-m)/(n-m-2), then there is no singular solution. We next prove that, if 1<p<(nm)/(nm2)1<p<(n-m)/(n-m-2), then there are two types of singular solution. Moreover, we show the uniqueness of the solutions and specify the exact behavior of the solutions near the singular set.
