Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem for the energy critical heat equation ut = ∆u + u3 in R4 × (0, T), (1) (u(·, 0) = u0 in R4. We find that for given points q1, q2, . . ., qk and any sufficiently small T > 0 there is an initial condition u0 such that the solution u(x, t) of (1) blows up at exactly those k points with a type II rate, namely larger than (T − t) 2 . In 1 fact ku(·, t)k∞ ∼ (T − t) 1 log2(T − t). The blow-up profile around each point is of bubbling type, in the form of sharply scaled Aubin-Talenti bubbles.
