We consider the semilinear heat equation \[ u_t-\Delta u= | u|^{p-1} u,\quad x\in\Omega,\quad t\in[0, T],\tag{1} \] \[ u(t,x)= 0,\quad x\in\partial\Omega,\quad t\in[0, T],\quad u(0,x)= u_0(x),\quad x\in\Omega, \] with \(p>1\) and \(u_0\in L^\infty(\Omega)\), where \(\Omega\) is a smooth, bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^N\) or \(\Omega= \mathbb{R}^N\). Let \(u\in C((0, T_m)\times\overline \Omega)\) be a solution of (1) which blows up in finite time, i.e. \(u\) is defined on the maximal interval of time \([0,T_m)\), with \(T_m<+\infty\). By the blow up alternative, we know that \(u\) blows up in \(L^\infty(\Omega)\), i.e. \(\lim_{t\uparrow T_m} \| u(t)\|_{L^\infty(\Omega)}= +\infty\). A classical problem is to determine whether \(\| u(t)\|_{L^q(\Omega)}\) also blows up as \(t\uparrow T_m\), for some \(q<+\infty\), and if so, at what rate. Here, we are interested in the cases where \(q\) is subcritical or critical, i.e. \(q<{N(p-1)\over 2}\) or \(q= {N(p-1)\over 2}\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0905.00060].
