Abstract

Let h:[0,)[0,)h:[0,\infty)\mapsto [0,\infty) be continuous and nondecreasing, h(t)>0h(t)>0 if t>0t>0, and m,qm,q be positive real numbers. We investigate the behavior when kk\to\infty of the fundamental solutions u=uku=u_{k} of \prttuΔum+h(t)uq=0\prt_{t} u-\Delta u^m+h(t)u^q=0 in Ω\ti(0,T)\Omega\ti (0,T) satisfying uk(x,0)=kδ0u_{k}(x,0)=k\delta_0. The main question is wether the limit is still a solution of the above equation with an isolated singularity at (0,0)(0,0), or a solution of the associated ordinary differential equation u+h(t)uq=0 u'+h(t)u^q=0 which blows-up at t=0t=0.
