abstract

  • We study the behaviour of nonnegative global solutions to the quasilinear heat equation with a reaction localized in a ball u(t) = Delta(m)(u) + a(x) u(p), for m > 0, 0 < p <= max{1, m}, a(x) = 1(BL) (x), 0 < L < infinity and N >= 2. We study when the solutions are bounded or unbounded. In particular we show that the precise value of the length L plays a crucial role in the critical case p = m for N >= 3. We also obtain the asymptotic behaviour of unbounded solutions and prove that the grow-up rate is different in most of the cases to the one obtained when L = infinity.
