Global existence and non-existence analyses for a semilinear edge degenerate parabolic equation with singular potential term

This paper discusses initial boundary value problem for a semilinear edge degenerate parabolic equation and corresponding stationary problem. We first find some initial conditions with different energy levels such that the solution exists globally and blows up in finite time, respectively. We also study the asymptotic behaviors like exponential decay and exponential growth for solution and energy function. Especially, we show the solution of evolution problem will converge to the steady state solution. Additionally, we find that there are two explicit vacuum regions which are ball and annulus respectively, that is to say, there is no solution belongs to them and all solutions are isolated by them. Finally, we discuss the existence of ground state solution to the stationary problem. The instability of the ground state solution is considered and we prove that there exists initial value such that the instability occurs as a blow-up in finite time.
