Infinite time bubble towers in the fractional heat equation with critical exponent

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the fractional heat equation with critical exponent in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ for $n>6s,s\in (0,1),$ \begin{equation*} u_t=-(-Δ)^su+|u|^{\frac{4s}{n-2s}}u,\quad (x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^n\times\mathbb{R}. \end{equation*} We construct a bubble tower type solution both for the forward and backward problem by establishing the existence of the sign-changing solution with multiple blow-up at a single point with the form \begin{equation*} u(x,t)=(1+o(1))\sum_{j=1}^{k}(-1)^{j-1}μ_j(t)^{-\frac{n-2s}{2}}U\left(\frac{x}{μ_j(t)}\right) \quad\mbox{as}\quad t\to+\infty, \end{equation*} and the positive solution with multiple blow-up at a single point with the form \begin{equation*} u(x,t)=(1+o(1))\sum_{j=1}^{k}μ_j(t)^{-\frac{n-2s}{2}}U\left(\frac{x}{μ_j(t)}\right) \quad\mbox{as}\quad t\to-\infty, \end{equation*} respectively. Here $k\ge 2$ is a positive integer, $$U(y)={\alpha }_{n,s}{\left(\frac{1}{1+|y{|}^2}\right)}^{\frac{n-2s}{2}},$$ and \begin{equation*} μ_j(t)=β_j |t|^{-α_j}(1+o(1))~\mathrm{as}~t\to\pm\infty, \quad α_j=\frac{1}{2s}\left(\frac{n-2s}{n-6s}\right)^{j-1}-\frac{1}{2s}, \end{equation*} for some certain positive numbers ${\beta }_j,j=1,\cdots ,k.$
