Seminars for the week of March 3, 2008
Colloquium
Thursday, 3:20, in VinH 16Professor Eiji Yanagida
of Tohoku University/Ordway Visitor
will speak on
"Dynamics of global solutions of a semilinear parabolic equation"
The purpose of this talk is to review recent progress on the dynamics of global solutions of the Cauchy problem for a parabolic equation with power nonlinearity. It is shown that in some parameter range, the large- time behavior of solutions is determined by the spatial decay rate of initial data. It is shown that depending on initial data, the solution exhibits grow- up, convergence to steady states and self-similar solutions, non-convergence and quasi-convergence. Moreover, given a speciifc decay rate of initial data, we can determine the rate of grow-up and convergence in an explicit way.
