Co-existence of Type II blow-ups with multiple blow-up rates for five-dimensional heat equation with critical nonlinear boundary conditions

Abstract

We consider the following five-dimensional heat equation with critical boundary condition \begin{equation*} \partial_t u=Δu \mbox{ \ in \ } \mathbb{R}_+^5\times (0,T) , \quad -\partial_{x_5}u =|u|^\frac{2}{3}u \mbox{ \ on \ } \pp \mathbb{R}^5_+ \times (0,T) . \end{equation*} Given $\mathfrak{o}$ distinct boundary points $q^{[i]}\in \partial {\mathbb{R}}_{+}^5$, and $\mathfrak{o}$ integers $l_i\in \mathbb{N}$ (possibly duplicated), $i=1,2,\dots ,\mathfrak{o}$, for $T>0$ sufficiently small, we construct a finite-time blow-up solution $u$ with a type II blow-up rate $(T-t{)}^{-3l_i-3}$ for $x$ near $q^{[i]}$. This seems to be the first result of the co-existence of type II blowups with different blow-up rates. To accommodate highly unstable blowups with different blowup rates, we first develop a unified linear theory for the inner problem with more time decay in the blow-up scheme through restriction on the spatial growth of the right-hand side, and then use vanishing adjustment functions for deriving multiple rates at distinct points. This paper is inspired by [25, 52, 60].
