Abstract: We classify the finite time blow-up profiles for the following reaction-diffusion equation with unbounded weight: partial_tu=Delta u^m+|x|^{sigma}u^p, posed in any space dimension xinmathbfRN, tgeq0 and with exponents m>1, pin(0,1) and sigma>2(1−p)/(m−1). We prove that blow-up profiles in backward self-similar form exist for the indicated range of parameters, showing thus that the unbounded weight has a strong influence on the dynamics of the equation, merging with the nonlinear reaction in order to produce finite time blow-up. We also prove that all the blow-up profiles are emph{compactly supported} and might present two different types of interface behavior and three different possible emph{good behaviors} near the origin, with direct influence on the blow-up behavior of the solutions. We classify all these profiles with respect to these different local behaviors depending on the magnitude of sigma. This paper generalizes in dimension N>1 previous results by the authors in dimension N=1 and also includes some finer classification of the profiles for sigma large that is new even in dimension N=1.
