Abstract
In this paper, we consider the nonlinear heat equation with inhomogeneous nonlinearity ut-Delta u=a(x)f(u) where f:R -> R having either a polynomial growth or exponential growth, and a:RN -> R is a function satisfying some assumptions to be stated later. We first prove the local well-posedness in suitable Lebesgue spaces when a belongs to some Lebesgue space and f has polynomial growth. We also obtain some blow-up results.
