Sign-changing stationary solutions and blowup for the two power nonlinear heat equation in a ball (Q2360039)

The author proves the finite-time blow-up of the sign-changing, regular solutions of the boundary value problem with two power nonlinearities \[ \begin{cases} u_t=\Delta u+|u|^{p-1}u-|u|^{q-1}u,\,\,\,t\geq 0,\,\,x\in\Omega,\\ u_{|\partial\Omega}=0,\,\,\,t\geq 0,\end{cases}\leqno(1) \] with the initial condition \(u(0,x)=\lambda h\), where \(\Omega\) is the open unit ball of \(\mathbb{R}^N\), \(N\geq 3\), \(1<q<p<\frac{N+2}{N-2}\), \(\lambda\in (\underline{\lambda},\overline{\lambda})\) with \(0<\underline{\lambda}<1<\overline{\lambda}\), \(\lambda\not=1\), and \(h\) is a radially symmetric, sign-changing stationary solution of \((1)\). He deduces that the set of initial data for which the solution of problem \((1)\) is global is not star-shaped around \(0\).
