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…

The question of triviality of solutions of the semilinear Ornstein-Uhlenbeck equation, \[ \Delta w-\frac{1}{2} \langle x,\nabla w\rangle-\frac{\lambda}{p-1}w+|w|^{p-1}w=0, \] is considered. It is shown, that if $p>1$ is Sobolev subcritical…

In studies of superlinear parabolic equations \begin{equation*} u_t=\Delta u+u^p,\quad x\in {\mathbb R}^N,\ t>0, \end{equation*} where $p>1$, backward self-similar solutions play an important role. These are solutions of the form $ u(x,t) =…
