Abstract
Consider classical solutions to the following Cauchy problem in a punctured space: &u_t=\Delta u -u^p \text{in} (R^n-\{0\})\times(0,\infty); & u(x,0)=g(x)\ge0 \text{in} R^n-\{0\}; &u\ge0 \text{in} (R^n-\{0\})\times[0,\infty). We prove that if , then the solution to \eqref{abstract} is unique for each . On the other hand, if , then uniqueness does not hold when ; that is, there exists a nontrivial solution with vanishing initial data.
