We consider solutions of the linear heat equation with time-dependent singularities. It is shown that if a singularity is weaker than the order of the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation, then it is removable. We also consider the removability of higher dimensional singular sets. An example of a non-removable singularity is given, which implies the optimality of the condition for removability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
