## Existence and nonexistence of local/global solutions for a nonhomogeneous heat equation

 1 School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China, China

Received  May 2013 Revised  December 2013 Published  February 2014

In this paper, we study the existence of local/global solutions to the Cauchy problem \begin{eqnarray} \rho(x)u_t=\Delta u+q(x)u^p, (x,t)\in R^N \times (0,T),\\ u(x,0)=u_{0}(x)\ge 0, x \in R^N \end{eqnarray} with $p > 0$ and $N\ge 3$. We describe the sharp decay conditions on $\rho, q$ and the data $u_0$ at infinity that guarantee the local/global existence of nonnegative solutions.
