Local and global properties of solutions of heat equation with superlinear absorption

Abstract: We study the limit, when

k o i n f t y

of solutions of

u_{t} - D e l t a u + f (u) = 0

in

R^{N} i m e s (0, i n f t y)

with initial data

k g d

, when

f

is a positive increasing function. We prove that there exist essentially three types of possible behaviour according

f^{- 1}

and

F^{- 1 / 2}

belong or not to

L^{1} (1, i n f t y)

, where

F (t) = i n t_{0}^{t} f (s) d s

. We emphasize the case where f(u)=u((ln u+1))^{alpha}. We use these results for giving a general result on the existence of the initial trace and some non-uniqueness results for regular solutions with unbounded initial data.

Review text

The authors study the local and global properties of solutions of a class of semilinear heat equations \(u_t - \Delta u + f(u) = 0\) with initial data \(k\delta\) with \(k \rightarrow +\infty\). Thank to a deep and detailed analysis, the authors prove new and very general results concerning existence and non existence of solutions with unbouded initial data.
