Abstract:
We consider non-uniqueness for nonlinear heat equations in two dimensions. For higher dimensions, uniqueness and non-uniqueness is well understood by Brezis-Cazenave and Ni-Sacks. In this talk we focus on exponential nonlinearities as a critical growth in two dimensions and reveal that non-uniqueness result arises from the singular stationary solution.
