Abstract

The Cauchy problem for semi-linear heat equations with singular initial data is studied, where N > 2, p > (N + 2)/N, and l > 0 is a parameter. We establish the existence and multiplicity of positive self-similar solutions for the problem by applying the ordinary differential equation shooting method to the corresponding spatial profile problem.
