This paper deals with a semilinear parabolic system with free boundary in one space dimension. We suppose that unknown functions $u$ and $v$ undergo nonlinear reactions $u^q$ and $v^p$, and exist initially in a interval $\{0\leq x\leq…
We consider the semilinear heat equation $$ u_t-\Delta u=|u|^{p-1}u,\ \ (t,x)\in\mathbb{R}^+\times\mathbb{R}^n. $$ The well-known difficulty with this problem is that the potential well method cannot be applied directly, due to the scaling…
