Abstract (VO)

We study the asymptotic behaviour of global bounded solutions of the Cauchy problem for the semilinear 2mth order parabolic equation u_t=−(−Δ)^mu+|u|^p in R^N×R₊, where m>1, p>1, with bounded integrable initial data u₀. We prove that in the supercritical Fujita range p>p_F=1+2m/N any small global solution with nonnegative initial mass, $\int {\mathrm{u}}_0\mathrm{dx}⩾0$, exhibits as t→∞ the asymptotic behaviour given by the fundamental solution of the linear parabolic operator (unlike the case $\mathrm{p}\in ]1,{\mathrm{p}}_F]$ where solutions can blow-up for any arbitrarily small initial data). A discrete spectrum of other possible asymptotic patterns and the corresponding monotone sequence of critical exponents $\{p_l=1+2m/(l+N),l=0,1,2,...\}$, where p₀=p_F, are discussed.

Résumé

On considère le comportement asymptotique des solutions globales bornées du problème de Cauchy pour l'équation parabolique sémi-linéaire d'ordre 2m u_t=−(−Δ)^mu+|u|^p in R^N×R₊, u(x,0)=u₀∈X=L¹(R^N)∩L^∞(R^N), où m>1, p>1. On vérifie que dans le cas surcritique de Fujita p>p_F=1+2m/N toute petite solution globale avec la donnée initiale vérifiant $\int {\mathrm{u}}_0\mathrm{dx}⩾0$, montre le comportement asymptotique quand t→∞ défini par la solution fondamentale de l'opérateur linéaire parabolique, à la différence du cas $\mathrm{p}\in ]1,{\mathrm{p}}_F]$ quand la solution peut exploser pour la donnée initiale arbitrairement petite. Le spectre discret des pistes possibles et la suite correspondante des exponents critiques $\{p_l=1+2m/(l+N),l=0,1,2,...\}$, où p₀=p_F, sont descriptes.
