Blow-up at space infinity of a solution with a moving singularity for a semilinear parabolic equation

• We consider the Cauchy problem for a parabolic partial differential equation with a power nonlinearity. It was shown in our previous paper that in some parameter range, the problem has a solution with a moving singularity that becomes anomalous in finite time. Our concern is a blow-up solution with a moving singularity. In this paper, we show that there exists a solution with a moving singularity such that it blows up at space infinity.
