Blow-up of the critical norm for a supercritical semilinear heat equation

Abstract: We consider the scaling critical Lebesgue norm of blow-up solutions to the semilinear heat equation

u_{t} = D e l t a u + | u |^{p - 1} u

in an arbitrary smooth domain of

m a t h b f R^{n}

. In the range

p > p_{S} : = (n + 2) / (n - 2)

, we show that the critical norm must be unbounded near the blow-up time, where the type I blow-up condition is not imposed. The range

p > p_{S}

is optimal in view of the existence of type II blow-up solutions with bounded critical norm for

p = p_{S}

.
