Universality in Blow-Up for Nonlinear Heat Equations
Jean Bricmont, Antti J. Kupiainen · 1993
We consider the classical problem of the blowing-up of solutions of the nonlinear heat equation. We show that there exist infinitely many profiles around the blow-up point, and for each integer $k$, we construct a set of codimension $2k$ in the space of initial data giving rise to solutions that blow-up according to the given profile.
