Heat equation, heat ball, and level set

658 Views Asked by At

I'm currently reading Evans book on PDE, and I've got some trubles in understanding the heat equation.

In the book the heat kernel is derived:

$$\Phi(x, t) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{(4\pi t)^{\frac{n}{2}}}e^{\frac{\Vert x \Vert ^{2}}{4t}}, &t>0\\ 0, &\text{otherwise}. \end{cases}$$

Now define the heat ball, for fixed $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$, $r > 0$, $t \in \mathbb{R}$ as $$E(x,t,r) = \{ (y, s) \in \mathbb{R^{n+1}}\ :\ s \le t,\ \Phi(x-y,t-s)\ge\frac{1}{r^n}\}.$$

In the book it is said that the boundary of $E$ is a level set for $(y, s) \to \Phi(x-y, t-s)$. Now it is obviously true that if $ (y,s)$ is in the boundary and $(y, s) \ne (x,t)$ then $\Phi(x-y,t-s) = \frac{1}{r^n}$. Moreover it is certainly true that $(x, t)$ is in the boundary of $E$, but $(y, s) \to \Phi(x-y, t-s)$ has a singularity in $(x, t)$, so how should I avoid this?
