Abstract:

We provide examples of solutions to parabolic problems with nontrivial blow-up sets of dimension strictly smaller than the space dimension. To this end we just consider different diffusion operators in different variables, for example, $u_t= (u^m)_{xx} + u_{yy} + u^m$ or $u_t = (|u_x|^{p-2} u_x)_x + u_{yy} + u^{p-1}$. For both equations, we prove that there exists a solution that blows up in the segment $B(u) = [-L,L] \times \{ 0 \} \subset \mathbb {R}^2$.
