Complete classification of gradient blow-up and recovery of boundary condition for the viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation

We study the Cauchy-Dirichlet pbm for superquadratic viscous Hamilton-Jacobi eq. We give a complete classification, namely rates and space-time profiles, in 1d case when viscosity sol. undergo gradient blow-up (GBU) or recovery of boundary condition (RBC) at any time when such phenomenon occurs. These results can be modified in radial domains in general dimensions. Previously, upper and lower estimates of GBU or RBC rates were available only in special case when basic comparison principle can be used. Even for type II BU in other PDEs, as far as we know, there has been no complete classification except [50], in which the argument relies on features peculiar to chemotaxis syst. Whereas there are many results on construction of special type II BU sol. of PDEs with investigation of (in-)stability of bubble, determination of (in-)stability of space-time profile for general sol. has not been done. In this paper, we determine whether space-time profile for each sol. is stable or unstable. A key in our proofs is to focus on algebraic structure with respect to vanishing intersections with singular steady state. In turn, GBU and RBC rates and profiles, as well as their (in-)stability, can be completely characterized by the number of vanishing intersections. We construct special sol. in bounded and unbounded intervals in both GBU and RBC cases, based on methods from [29], and then apply braid group theory to get upper and lower estimates of the rates. After that, we rule out oscillation of the rates, which leads us to the complete space-time profile. In the process, careful construction of special sol. with specific behaviors in intermediate and outer regions, far from bubble and the RBC point, plays essential role. The application of such techniques to viscosity sol. is completely new.

Singularity formation and regularization at multiple times in the viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation

The Cauchy-Dirichlet pbm for the superquadratic viscous Hamilton-Jacobi eqn (VHJ), which has important applications in stochastic control theory, admits a unique, global viscosity solution. Sol. thus exist in the weak sense after appearance of singularity in finite time, which occurs through gradient blow-up (GBU) on the boundary. Whereas theory of visc. sol. has been extensively studied and applied to many PDEs, there are less results on refined behavior of sol. In particular, detailed behavior of visc. sol. of VHJ after GBU has remained mostly open. Here, in general dim., for each $m\ge 1$ we construct sol. which undergo GBU and LBC at least at $m$ times and then recover regularity, as well as sol. that exhibit GBU without LBC at 1st blowup time. In 1d, we obtain the complete classification of visc. sol. at each time, which extends to radial cases in higher d. Furthermore for each $m\ge 2$ and arbitrarily given combination of GBU types with/without LBC at $m$ times in arbitrarily given order, we show exist. of a sol. with this exact combination of GBU. Some sol. display a new type of behavior called "bouncing". Global weak sol. of VHJ with multiple time singularity turn out to display larger variety of behaviors than for the Fujita eqn. We introduce a method based on an arbitrary number of critical parameters, whose continuity requires a delicate argument. Since we do not rely on any known special sol. unlike in Fujita eqn, our method is expected to apply to other eqns. Singular behaviors at multiple times are completely new in the context of VHJ but also of stochastic control theory. In this framework our results imply that for certain spatial distributions of rewards, if a controled Brownian particle starts near the boundary, then the net gain attains profitable values on different time horizons but not on some intermediate times.

Optimal condition for blow-up of the critical $L^q$ norm for the semilinear heat equation

We shed light on a long-standing open question for the semilinear heat equation $u_t = Δu + |u|^{p-1} u$. Namely, without any restriction on the exponent $p>1$ nor on the smooth domain~$Ω$, we prove that the critical $L^q$ norm blows up whenever the solution undergoes {\it type~I~blow-up.} A~similar property is also obtained for the local critical $L^q$ norm near any blow-up point. In view of recent results of existence of type~II blow-up solutions with bounded critical $L^q$ norm, which are counter-examples to the open question, our result seems to be essentially the best possible result in general setting. This close connection between type I blow-up and critical $L^q$ norm blow-up appears to be a completely new observation. Our proof is rather involved and requires the combination of various ingredients. It is based on analysis in similarity variables and suitable rescaling arguments, combined with {\it backward uniqueness and unique continuation properties} for parabolic equations. As a by-product, we obtain the nonexistence of self-similar profiles in the critical $L^q$ space. Such properties were up to now only known for $ p \le p_S $ and in radially symmetric case for $ p > p_S $, where $ p_S $ is the Sobolev exponent.
