Abstract

We study existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to (F) _tu+(Δ)\alphau+h(t,u)=0\partial\_t u+ (-\Delta)^\alphau+h(t, u)=0 in (0,)×RN(0,\infty)\times\R^N,with initial condition u(0,)=νu(0,\cdot)=\nu in RN\R^N, where N2N\ge2, the operator (Δ)α(-\Delta)^\alphais the fractional Laplacian with α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1), ν\nu isa bounded Radon measure and h:(0,)×RRh:(0,\infty)\times\R\to\R is a continuous function satisfying a subcritical integrability condition.In particular, if h(t,u)=tβuph(t,u)=t^\beta u^p with β\textgreater1\beta\textgreater{}-1 and 0\textlessp\textlessp_β:=1+2α(1+β)N0 \textless{} p \textless{} p^*\_\beta:=1+\frac{2\alpha(1+\beta)}{N}, we prove that there exists a unique weak solution u_ku\_k to (F) with ν=kδ_0\nu=k\delta\_0, where δ_0\delta\_0 is the Dirac mass at the origin. We obtain that u_ku\_k\to\infty in (0,)×RN(0,\infty)\times\R^N as kk\to\infty for p(0,1]p\in(0,1] and the limit of u_ku\_k exists as kk\to\infty when 1\textlessp\textlessp_β1 \textless{} p \textless{} p^*\_\beta, we denote it by u_u\_\infty.When 1+2α(1+β)N+2α:=p_β\textlessp\textlessp_β1+\frac{2\alpha(1+\beta)}{N+2\alpha}:=p^{**}\_\beta\textless{} p \textless{} p^*\_\beta,u_u\_\infty is the minimal self-similar solution of (F)_(F)\_\infty _tu+(Δ)αu+tβup=0\partial\_t u+ (-\Delta)^\alpha u+t^\beta u^p=0 in (0,)×RN(0,\infty)\times\R^N with the initial condition u(0,)=0u(0,\cdot)=0 in RN{0}\R^N\setminus\{0\} and it satisfies u_(0,x)=0u\_\infty(0,x)=0 for x0x\neq 0.While if 1\textlessp\textlessp_β1\textless{} p \textless{} p^{**}\_\beta, then u_U_pu\_\infty\equiv U\_p, where U_pU\_p is the maximal solution of the differential equation y+tβyp=0y'+t^\beta y^p=0 on R_+\R\_+.
