Asymptotically self-similar global solutions of a semilinear parabolic equation with a nonlinear gradient term

Abstract

We study the existence and the asymptotic behaviour of global solutions of the semilinear parabolic equation u(0) = ϧwhere a, b ∈ℝ, q > 1, p > 1. Forq=2p/(p+1) and ½ 1(p-1)>1 (equivalently, q > (n + 2)/(n + 1)), we prove the existence of mild global solutions for small initial data with respect to some norm. Some of those solutions are asymptotically self-similar.
