Abstract

We classify the finite time blow-up profiles for the following reaction-diffusion equation with unbounded weight: partial derivative(t)u = Delta u(m) + vertical bar x vertical bar(sigma) u(p), posed in any space dimension x is an element of R-N, t >= 0 and with exponents m > 1, p is an element of (0,1) and sigma > 2(1-p)/(m-1). We prove that blow-up profiles in backward self-similar form exist for the indicated range of parameters, showing thus that the unbounded weight has a strong influence on the dynamics of the equation, merging with the nonlinear reaction in order to produce finite time blow-up. We also prove that all the blow-up profiles are compactly supported and might present two different types of interface behavior and three different possible good behaviors near the origin, with direct influence on the blow-up behavior of the solutions. We classify all these profiles with respect to these different local behaviors depending on the magnitude of sigma. This paper generalizes in dimension N > 1 previous results by the authors in dimension N = 1 and also includes some finer classification of the profiles for sigma large that is new even in dimension N = 1.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Communications On Pure And Applied Analysis due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency Scopus (SJR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2022, it was in position , thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil), in the category Analysis.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 2.63. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 14, 2024)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Weighted Average of Normalized Impact by the Scopus agency: 1.74 (source consulted: FECYT Feb 2024)
  • Field Citation Ratio (FCR) from Dimensions: 5.41 (source consulted: Dimensions Aug 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-08-29, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 7
  • Scopus: 8
