Abstract

We consider the classical problem of the blowing-up of solutions of the nonlinear heat equation. We show that there exist infinitely many profiles around the blow-up point, and for each integer kk, we construct a set of codimension 2k2k in the space of initial data giving rise to solutions that blow-up according to the given profile.
