Existence of infinitely many singular self-similar solutions for the semilinear heat equation
Abstract
We show the existence of infinitely many singular positive forward self-similar solutions for the semilinear heat equation ∂t u = Δu + up for x ∈ RN, t > 0, where N ≥ 3 and N/(N−2) ≤ p ≤ (N+2)/(N−2). We also investigate the asymptotic behavior and the bound of the profiles of the solutions as |x| → 0 and |x| → ∞, respectively. Furthermore, we show nonuniqueness of positive soutions of the Cauchy problem for the equation with p = N/(N−2) by using singular self-similar solutions.

AB - We show the existence of infinitely many singular positive forward self-similar solutions for the semilinear heat equation ∂_t u = Δu + u^p for x ∈ R^N, t > 0, where N ≥ 3 and N/(N−2) ≤ p ≤ (N+2)/(N−2). We also investigate the asymptotic behavior and the bound of the profiles of the solutions as |x| → 0 and |x| → ∞, respectively. Furthermore, we show nonuniqueness of positive soutions of the Cauchy problem for the equation with p = N/(N−2) by using singular self-similar solutions.
