It was recently shown that the nontrivial kernel of the linear part leads to the coexistence of fast solutions decaying to 0 exponentially (as time goes to infinity), and slow solutions decaying to 0 as negative powers of t. Here we provide a characterization of slow/fast solutions in terms of their sign, and we show that the set of initial data giving rise to fast solutions is a graph of codimension one in the phase space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-21T19:00:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35K58", "35K90", "35B40" ], "keywords": [ "homogeneous neumann boundary conditions", "semi linear heat equation", "concrete realization", "slow-fast alternative", "fast solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
