Abstract

The nonlinear heat equation with a fractional Laplacian [ut+(-Δ)α2u=u2,0<α2], is considered in a unit ball B. Homogeneous boundary conditions and small initial conditions are examined. For 3/2 + ε₁ ≤ α ≤ 2, where ε₁ > 0 is small, the global-in-time mild solution from the space C([0,),Hκ(B)) with κ < α - 1/2 is constructed in the form of an eigenfunction expansion series. The uniqueness is proved for 0 < κ < α - 1/2, and the higher-order long-time asymptotics is calculated.

Keywords

first initial-boundary value problem, nonlinear heat equation, construction of solutions, higher-order long-time asymptotics, fractional Laplacian
