Blowup in Nonliear Heat Equations
thesis
posted on 2006-12-08, 00:00 authored by Shuangcai WangWe study the blowup problem for nonlinear heat equations. We show that if the even initial value is close enough to a 2-dimensional manifold of approximately homogenous solutions, the solution blows up in a finite time and the asymptotical profile is an approximate solution with parameters evolving according to a certain dynamical system plus a small fluctuation in $L^infty$.The result allows us to construct initial data with more than one local maximum while the solutions still blow up in a finite time according to the asymptotical profile. We also demonstrated that there is an open subset in the space of initial data and their solutions blow up according to the described asymptotical profile.
