This paper concerns the blow-up problem for a semilinear heat equation

$\begin{equation}\label{eq:P}\tag{P}≤\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\partial_t u=Δ u+u^p, &x∈ Ω, \, \, \, t>0, \\ u(x, t)=0, &x∈\partialΩ, \, \, \, t>0, \\ u(x, 0)=u_0(x)≥ 0, &x∈ Ω, \end{array}\right.\end{equation}$

where

$\partial_t=\partial/\partial t$

$p>1$

$N≥ 1$

$Ω\subset {\bf R}^N$

$u_0$

is a bounded continuous function in

$\overline{Ω}$

. For the case

$u_0(x)=λ\varphi(x)$

for some function

$\varphi$

and a sufficiently large

$λ>0$

, it is known that the solution blows up only near the maximum points of

$\varphi$

under suitable assumptions. Furthermore, if

$\varphi$

has several maximum points, then the blow-up set for (P) is characterized by

$Δ\varphi$

at its maximum points. However, for initial data

$u_0(x)=λ\varphi(x)$

, it seems difficult to obtain further information on the blow-up set such that effect of higher order derivatives of initial data. In this paper, we consider another type large initial data

$u_0(x)=λ+\varphi(x)$

and study the relationship between the blow-up set for (P) and higher order derivatives of initial data.

Keywords: Semilinear heat equation, blow-up problem, blow-up set, large initial data, comparison principle.
