Abstract: We consider the semilinear heat equation �egin{equation}label{problemAbstract}left{�egin{array}{ll}v_t-Delta v= |v|^{p-1}v & mbox{in}Omega imes (0,T)\ v=0 & mbox{on}partial Omega imes (0,T)\ v(0)=v_0 & mbox{in}Omega end{array} ight. ag{$mathcal{P}_p$} end{equation} where $p>1$, $Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain of $mathbb{R}^2$, $Tin(0,+infty]$ and $v_0$ belongs to a suitable space. We give general conditions for a family $u_p$ of sign-changing stationary solutions of eqref{problemAbstract}, under which the solution of eqref{problemAbstract} with initial value $v_0=lambda{u}_p$ blows up in finite time if $|lambda-1|>0$ is sufficiently small and $p$ is sufficiently large. Since for $lambda=1$ the solution is global, this shows that, in general, the set of the initial conditions for which the solution is global is not star-shaped with respect to the origin. In previous paper by Dickstein, Pacella and Sciunzi this phenomenon has already been observed in the case when the domain is a ball and the sign changing stationary solution is radially symmetric. Our conditions are more general and we provide examples of stationary solutions $u_p$ which are not radial and exhibit the same behavior.
