Green's function and infinite-time bubbling in the critical nonlinear heat equation (Q2302427)

Let \(\Omega\) be a smooth bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) with \(n \geq 5\). The authors consider the classical semilinear heat equation at the critical Sobolev exponent \[ u_t =\Delta u + u^{\frac{n+2}{n-2}} \] in \(\Omega\times(0,\infty)\), \(u = 0\) on \(\partial\Omega\times (0,\infty)\). The aim of this paper is to build solutions with single or multiple blow-up points as \(t \rightarrow +\infty\), to specify their asymptotic form and to investigate their stability. Let \(G(x, y)\) be the Dirichlet Green function of \(-\Delta\) in \(\Omega\). Let \(q_j \in \Omega\) with \(j = 1, \dots, k\), be points such that a suitable matrix is positively defined. The authors prove that for any \(k \geq \) such points exist and prove also the existence of a positive smooth solution \(u(x,t)\) which blows up by bubbling in infinite time near those points. Moreover they are able to estimate the approximate form the the solution \(u\) takes when \(t \rightarrow + \infty\).
