On blow-up at space infinity for semilinear heat equations (Q819730)

Positive solutions of the Cauchy problem for a semilinear heat equation are studied. The authors give sufficient conditions under which the solutions blow up in finite time but the blow-up set is empty. This means that these solutions only become unbounded as \(| x| \to\infty\). It is also shown in the paper that the behavior at spatial infinity is described by the corresponding ordinary differential equation.
