Initial trace of solutions of semilinear heat equations with absorption. (English) Zbl 1282.35194

Summary: We study the initial trace problem for positive solutions of semilinear heat equations with strong absorption. We show that in general this initial trace is an outer regular Borel measure. We emphasize in particular the case where \(u\) satisfies \(\partial _tu-\varDelta u+t^\alpha| u|^{q-1}u=0\), with \(q>1\) and \(\alpha >-1\) and prove that in the subcritical case \(1<q<q_{\alpha, N}:= 1+2(1+\alpha )/N\) the initial trace establishes a one to one correspondence between the set of outer regular Borel measures in \(\mathbb R^N\) and the set of positive solutions in \(\mathbb R^N\times\mathbb R_+\).
