Blow-up set for a semilinear heat equation with small diffusion. (English) Zbl 1204.35054
The blow-up set of positive solutions of a semilinear heat equation is studied. It is shown that, under suitable assumptions on the initial data, the solutions blow-up only near the maximum points of the initial data provided the diffusion coefficient is small enough.
