Résumé

We consider the scalar semilinear heat equation $u_{t} - Δ u = f (u)$ , where $f : [0, \infty) \to [0, \infty)$ is continuous and non-decreasing but need not be convex. We completely characterise those functions f for which the equation has a local solution bounded in $L^{q} (Ω)$ for all non-negative initial data $u_{0} \in L^{q} (Ω)$ , when $Ω \subset R^{d}$ is a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. For $q \in (1, \infty)$ this holds if and only if ${\lim \sup}_{s \to \infty} s^{- (1 + 2 q / d)} f (s) < \infty$ ; and for $q = 1$ if and only if $\int_{1}^{\infty} s^{- (1 + 2 / d)} F (s) d s < \infty$ , where $F (s) = \sup_{1 \leq t \leq s} f (t) / t$ . This shows for the first time that the model nonlinearity $f (u) = u^{1 + 2 q / d}$ is truly the ‘boundary case’ when $q \in (1, \infty)$ , but that this is not true for $q = 1$ .

The same characterisations hold for the equation posed on the whole space $R^{d}$ provided that ${\lim \sup}_{s \to 0} f (s) / s < \infty$ .
