Abstract

We study existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to (F) $\partial\_t u+ (-Δ)^\alphau+h(t, u)=0 $ in (0,∞)×RN(0,\infty)\times\R^N,with initial condition u(0,⋅)=νu(0,\cdot)=ν in RN\R^N, where N≥2N\ge2, the operator (−Δ)α(-Δ)^αis the fractional Laplacian with α∈(0,1)α\in(0,1), νν isa bounded Radon measure and h:(0,∞)×R→Rh:(0,\infty)\times\R\to\R is a continuous function satisfying a subcritical integrability condition.In particular, if h(t,u)=tβuph(t,u)=t^βu^p with $β\textgreater{}-1$ and $0 \textless{} p \textless{} p^*\_β:=1+\frac{2α(1+β)}{N}$, we prove that there exists a unique weak solution u_ku\_k to (F) with ν=kδ_0ν=kδ\_0, where δ_0δ\_0 is the Dirac mass at the origin. We obtain that u_k→∞u\_k\to\infty in (0,∞)×RN(0,\infty)\times\R^N as k→∞k\to\infty for p∈(0,1]p\in(0,1] and the limit of u_ku\_k exists as k→∞k\to\infty when $1 \textless{} p \textless{} p^*\_β$, we denote it by u_∞u\_\infty.When $1+\frac{2α(1+β)}{N+2α}:=p^{**}\_β\textless{} p \textless{} p^*\_β$,u_∞u\_\infty is the minimal self-similar solution of (F)_∞(F)\_\infty ∂_tu+(−Δ)αu+tβup=0\partial\_t u+ (-Δ)^αu+t^βu^p=0 in (0,∞)×RN(0,\infty)\times\R^N with the initial condition u(0,⋅)=0u(0,\cdot)=0 in RN∖{0}\R^N\setminus\{0\} and it satisfies u_∞(0,x)=0u\_\infty(0,x)=0 for x≠0x\neq 0.While if $1\textless{} p \textless{} p^{**}\_β$, then u_∞≡U_pu\_\infty\equiv U\_p, where U_pU\_p is the maximal solution of the differential equation y′+tβyp=0y'+t^βy^p=0 on R_+\R\_+.
