On Blowup of Nonlinear Heat Equation in One Dimension

We study blowup of solutions of one-dimensional nonlinear heat equations (NLH). We consider two cases: a power nonlinearity and initial conditions having two equal absolute maxima and a polynomial nonlinearity and initial conditions having a single global maximum. We show in both cases that for a certain open set of initial conditions solutions of the NLH blow up in finite time and we find asymptotical behavior of blowup frofiles. In the first case the blowup occurs at two points while in the second case, at one point.
