Nonexistence conjecture for singular self-similar profiles with intermediate exponent
Nonexistence conjecture for singular self-similar profiles with intermediate exponent
Let , and consider the singular self-similar profile equation
Nonexistence conjecture. The equation does not have solutions.
The methods used for the endpoint cases and do not appear to apply when . The conjecture is motivated by partial analytic results and numerical computations; no resolution is stated here.
