Abstract:
We study the asymptotic behavior of blowup solutions for the heat equation with a nonlinear boundary condition on the half space. By the presence of nonlinearities on the boundary, solutions can blow up on the boundary. It is known that the singularity of blowup solutions along the direction vertical to the boundary are determined by unique self-similar solutions. A goal is to give a complete description of the singularity on the boundary. In this talk, we focus on derivation of the matched asymptotic expansion, which is a key part in the proof.
