Abstract:
We consider the scaling critical Lebesgue norm of blow-up solutions to a semilinear heat equation (the Fujita equation) in an arbitrary smooth domain. In the Sobolev supercritical range, we show that the critical norm must be unbounded near the blow-up time. The range is optimal in view of the existence of blow-up solutions with bounded critical norm for the Sobolev critical case. This talk is based on a joint work with Professor Hideyuki Miura (Tokyo Institute of Technology).
