We are concerned with a Cauchy problem for the semilinear heat equationthen u is called a backward self-similar solution blowing up at t = T. Let pS and pL be the Sobolev and the Lepin exponents, respectively. It was shown by Mizoguchi (J. Funct. Analysis257 (2009), 2911–2937) that k ≡ (p − 1)−1/(p−1) is a unique regular radial solution of (P) if p > pL. We prove that it remains valid for p = pL. We also show the uniqueness of singular radial solution of (P) for p > pS. These imply that the structure of radial backward self-similar blow-up solutions is quite simple for p ≥ pL.

We first prove existence and uniqueness of non-negative solutions of the equationin in the range 1 < p < 1 + 2/N, when initial data u(x, 0) = a|x|−2(p−1), x ≠ 0, for a > 0. It is proved that the maximal and minimal solutions are self-similar with the formwhere g = ga satisfiesAfter uniqueness is proved, the asymptotic behaviour of solutions ofis studied. In particular, we show thatThe case for a = 0 is also considered and a sharp decay rate of the above equation is derived. In the final, we reveal existence of solutions of the first and third equations above, which change sign.

We study the profile near quenching time for the solutions of the first and second initial boundary value problems (IBVP) for a semilinear heat equation. Under certain conditions, one-point quenching occurs for both first and second IBVPs. Furthermore, we derive the asymptotic self-similar quenching rate for both problems.
