Abstract

We consider the Cauchy problem of the two dimensional heat equation with a radially symmetric, negative potential -V which behaves like V (r) = O(r ) as r → ∞, for some κ > 2. We study the rate and the direction for hot spots to tend to the spatial infinity. Furthermore we give a sufficient condition for hot spots to consist of only one point for any sufficiently large t > 0.
