Abstract

We consider the isotropic initial boundary value problem for the heat equation on open regions with noncompact boundary and construct differential inequalities for a generalized heat flow measure defined over a spherical cross section. Under suitable assumptions, integration of the differential inequality leads to spatial growth and decay rate estimates for mean-square cross-sectional measures of the time-weighted temperature spatial gradient. The estimates are then used to obtain similar results for the time-weighted temperature. In particular, when the base heat flow measure is positive, the time-weighted temperature becomes pointwise unbounded at large spatial distance.
